wait a minute -- that's not all she is saying she is saying >>she is saying that returns are deteriorating, and thus cash flow should be returned to shareholders. this is correct.<< and that if they returned a share of that dwindling cash flow to the current holders it would be a buy. That's nonsense -- but maybe I misread it.

now that I read the article, I see it was quoted here before -- she decided that RYL repurchase program was accretive to earnings -- that's per share -- all that matters, I guess -- STILL!! -- I think you posted that, didn't you -- oh well -- I understand your pt. Just think it is rather silly in the context of whether or not the stock is a buy or a sell. That's all I was saying. And I still think it is funny that the analyst thinks there is a difference in value based upon buybacks -- I don't care about the tax issue -- it's friggin' silly on its face.
