Hi Chuzz, Here is what Sivy said in a prior published statement on the subject: " higher dividends and buybacks. Though both return money to shareholders, managers who raise dividends generally feel obligated to continue payouts at the new higher rate. So if they want to make a onetime distribution of cash, a stock buyback is a more convenient way to do it. In addition, since dividend income is taxed at a higher rate than capital gains, profits from a stock buyback may be more advantageous for investors than higher dividends would be". Your observations are very much on target and in many areas. More importantly the way in which you further the cause of rational decision making is vital to those of us who need to consistently remain on top of our game. Mr. Chuzz Le Wit. You are indeed a Wit and then some! Looks like you and the Michaels (Dell, Money, SI ) have something in common. You all have a loyal following. Love that line "dividends in drag". My God man must you out even those of us that attempt to play with "DRIPs" in the financial world? :) Best Regards, QT
