Comments on share buybacks and the general markets

Cory
August 2, 2017

We hear a lot about how share buybacks are large contributors to the rising markets. However the recent months have shown that this might not be true. See the chart and excerpt from Trim Tabs below that outline the lower share buybacks.

Here’s the data from Trim Tabs…

While the too-big-to-fails unleashed a flood of stock buyback announcements after the Federal Reserve’s latest “stress test,” announcements by other U.S. companies have been light.

Financial companies rolled out $92.8 billion in buybacks on June 28, accounting for 86% of the $107.3 billion in buybacks in all of June.  In July, buybacks for all companies fell to just $17.3 billion, the lowest level since May 2012.

    Ever figure the companies do not want to buy their over inflated stock price back, and would rather just take the cash and run before the entire thing implodes………jmo

    I love you Cory….I miss Doc…. : {

      I hope that Doc is well. And Mr. Big Al Korelin too.
      My take is that once the gold and silver markets make their turn, the good Doctor will have completed his home renos and have his internet connection stabilized. I think it won’t be too long before he’ll be back.

    CAD is in a declining ending diagonal (I think that’s what it’s called).

      Even though I’m a fan of $EXK, these results are less than stellar. I’m a bit concerned what this release may do to shares at the open.

        Yep…. it was a mess today….

      Heard this morning , drug companies are now going to the judges and courts , that preside over drug courts, and recommending and promoting their brand to be used on drug offenders.
      Big Pharma at work under the table, giving the judges kick backs for prescribing their drugs.

    The author of this one, Scott Ritter, was an UNSCOM weapons inspector in Iraq in the 1990s. In the lead-up to the 2003 Iraq war he made a convincing case that Iraq had no remaining WMD. Events, of course, have borne out his argument, though that doesn’t stop the Zionist fanatics and their brainwashed tools from claiming the WMD were there but just got hidden or transported to Syria or some such.

    Zionist are not the Jews , God was talking about ,that are God’s chosen people….Christians need to get a revelation on this.

    “Christians need to get a revelation on this.”

    Yes they do! Who gives all these evangelical Christian Zionists like Hagee their platform to spread their false ideology? Might it be those who control finance and mass media?

      Aug 03, 2017 03:42 AM

      Hagee and a lot of others will need to come to a revelation the 503b ( govt tax status)will not cut the mustard when in front of the Lord.
