Yes... agreed/understood... sort of makes my point... inefficient use of capital... OK, at best -- at best, it may positively affect share price, but I don't care as much about cap gains as dividends and divvy growth... OK, maybe... maybe... maybe it "protects" the divvy growth a bit over time... however, I contend (and nobody's ever been able to demonstrate I'm wrong on this) that for me personally, I end up with more money (and divvy income) in the long haul if they put all of the money they spend on buybacks into even higher divvy increases and that's guaranteed money in my pocket the moment they give it to me -- I don't have to wait around for insignificant (in most cases) share price gains due to whatever minuscule reduction in share float the buyback achieves and any sort of nebulous effect on future divvies...
