Your dilution argument seems to falls apart when you look at companies that buy back their stock.

Let's look a DELL which had no dilution last year. They supposedly made 70-80 cents per share last year. Something like 2 Billion in profits. But if you look at their financial statement they used up 1 Billion in cash. Their book value decreased by 1 Billion not increased by 2 Billion.

Now why isn't the cost of buying back stock expensed as part of doing business? One or the other needs to be.
