"The Magic Of IBM Share Buybacks In 2 Charts"
seekingalpha.com

the writer's summary:

IBM isn't buying back shares for "financial engineering" purposes, but instead because it's a cultural decision on how to best reward shareholders.
The company has purposefully and relentlessly bought back shares, and shareholders have been fortunate that IBM has been largely undervalued over many periods.
Even if it takes years for IBM's "coiled spring" to unleash as capital gains, income and dividend growth investors can relish in buybacks that are juicing dividends.

excerpt:
My largest stock holding is IBM Corp. (NYSE:IBM), and I'm happy about that. And, when the price drops, my joy increases, because I am a net buyer of IBM stock and therefore it's been impossible for me to lose any real money. You cannot lose if you don't sell and the business doesn't go bankrupt, especially if you're collecting dividends.


must be a younger guy :)
