Have you noticed all the mergers and buybacks that have been announced during the past 30-60 days?

1) Approving share buybacks doesn't mean they're going to do it. If they do it, it means that they don't see any reason to deploy the capital to expansion. Share buybacks are negative for the economy.

2) Mergers are job destroyers. Negative for the economy as well.

Mergers and buyouts because companies have all that newly minted money and the coffee can has shrunk so much they're running out of places to keep it.

Share buybacks are just ways to keep your stock price up without expanding, hiring more workers or even making more profits. It's because corps have billions they're sitting on.
