>>The $4 Billions buy back (over the next 12 months) just announced by GM is nothing but a net 15% after tax dividends<<

Zeev,
Dividends have to be paid. Stock buybacks do not have to happen. A dividend of say, $2.00 will always be $2.00. A share price of say $100, could be $80 next week. If GM's share price does not go up 15% I doubt shareholder's will feel like they got 15% aftertax. All risk being ignored in this market.
