Anyway, the dividend tax cut is so irrelevant to all bar the wealthiest, it would be laughable - if it weren't so expensive and potentially damaging... Class warfare talk. Anyone who owns a stock can participate in the tax free dividend payment. You'll probably say that only the wealthy own enough stock to make any moeny from this. Not true. I know plenty of middle class people who own stocks in taxable accounts.

Conventional wisdom holds that buying back shares is good for shareholders. Stock buybacks are best for the shareholders who also have some idea of the plans for buybacks as well as the resources and the timing. This means the insiders, the analysts they talk to, and the bankers who finance the whole arrangement. Dividends reward all shareholders on a regular basis. Those in the know can get a much larger share of the profits when dividends are not part of the picture. TP
