Zeev,

"However, one should take the cash disbursed in buy backs as part
of the dividends money flow, and thus the theory which I am trying to promulgate, is that the assumption of excess valuation based on low dividends should be modified with the cash thrown in as buy backs. I think this source is a double whamo for the bulls, it increases liquidity and reduces supply of shares. The old story of more money chasing fewer goods (shares in this case)".


Why do you insist on preaching to the choir? Of course that is going on ... . There are other issues, although.

Regards, DWW

Zeev, there was an article in our weekend paper talking about buybacks and the upshot was how many were announcing them but not actually buying back very much if any, in many cases it was none. One I happen to know of did buy back all they said they would and coincidentally I believe that during the buyback there was very considerable insider selling.
