Hi Kirk, I agree with this comment: The best explanation for this surprising development is that the S&P 500 companies are mostly buying back their shares to offset the dilution of their shares resulting from compensation paid in the form of stocks that vest over time, not just for top executives but also for many other employees. I have for many years believed that globalization' primary intent was to bust up the overzealous unions. Unions are now concentrated in government vs the private industry. Our advancement in robotics has neutralized the unions striking capabilities. China's historic growth was flawed in their hope/ belief thay could become the manufacturing center for the world. All of those new plants provided a flawed design of putting a lot of people to work and too build lower qaulity products that could simply be replaced and keep the work force employed. AI and robotics will now have advances that will keep excess capacity and its burdens, squarely on China's back. IMO Bob
