Chuz, Agree with most of your post especially the masking of falling earnings or falling growth rates in earnings resulting from buybacks. Re Options: I believe that this is almost always an abuse of the shareholders assets used to over-compensate those who haven't risked their own capital. Unfortunately, there are very few investments which provide comparable returns but which have eliminated this abuse. All the same, I believe the problem is the option plan, not the buyback. By the way, I do agree with all the substance of what you've been saying. This has just been my comments and airing of some of my pet peeves. Best regards, Ian.
