Bearded One,

>> 3-5 billion a month going into the market was a result of buybacks.

While looking for my original data source (too many links, magazines, newsletters) I found a different one. It has a higher number than I had. It has $129 billion in first 10 months of last year
minus 1/3 because companies announce but don't actually buy. This gives 8.5 billion/month in buy backs.

cnnfn.com

I looked at cnnfn's reference, Securities Data to find this years numbers. securitiesdata.com (this wasn't my source either)
I found IPO's at 93 billion so far this year but not buy backs. If you have time it should be there somewhere since cnnfn used it as a reference. I can't seem to find it.

When I find my original source I'll let you know.

cpcug.org
Is a good source for dividend charts and data.
For links to historical data I use cpcug.org

I was dead certain that I got the buyback number from one of their links. It must have been a link from the link - I followed the ones I remember 2 deep but I can't find it tonight. It would be nice if all links traversed would be permanently saved on disk for future reference - after all disk space is cheap. I've got pages of bookmarks but it seems that it's the stuff that you don't bookmark that you later wish you had marked.
