Jules kept on mentioning that IBM's debt is increasing. However, the portion of IBM debt that is increasing is the ones to finance the IBM Credit Corp. IBM's core debt has pretty much remained constant! I have written Jules time and again for explanation but he has consistently ignored these requests. I am still waiting for explanations on why it is so bad for a company to buy back stocks rather than payinbg out the money as dividend. Does not pay out cash as dividend also reduce stockholder's equity, since the money is no longer in the company's pocket!! I am also waiting for an explanation about the IBM debt situation.
