robert, let's take this to the rudimentary level. if ibm hadn't spent $500 million buying back stock would they have needed to increase debt $500 million for operations? let's take this slooooooooooowly. no buy back = $500 million dollars for something else (like operations). $500 million available for operations means there is no need to borrow $500 million to fund operations. no buy back = no borrow. buyback = borrow. simple enough yet?
