Sorry you got wet, it was pretty wild as the front made its way through here also... I understand your points Patrick, and some are well taken. Regarding your knowing ceos is immaterial, as we've all brushed shoulders with Fortune 500 starlets from time to time. If I were to make a list of those who I'd like to get to know before leaving this mortal coil, it would include only a few of the captains of industry.

Please elaborate on this point you make..

"My point is....these companies have buyback programs in place and this is one way the program is facilitated. Thru stock buybacks a company reduces the number of outstanding shares making each remaining share more valuable. This is a form of growth."

There's a potential (but not guaranteed) price appreciation from reducing the gross share divisability of earnings, but certainly there's no growth.
