Kinda crazy that the House of Representatives - in a total bipartisan vote - just made it illegal to speak poorly of a foreign government.

For sure, nothing you said here is out of bounds and no doubt a buyback can be a way for management to print money for themselves in a way.  I just don't subscribe to the notion that shareholders and "large shareholders" need to be separate in any way to make it look any worse.

We'll agree to agree with your first sentence and agree to disagree with your second.

You don’t understand the brilliant gambits of Elon

"Let's see ... who buys EVs? Woke tree-huggers! So ... who should I pizz off so much that they won't want to buy my EVs? Woke tree-huggers! No wonder everybody calls me a genius!"

Ok comrade.  Do you realize how much cash reserves Apple is sitting on?  Though I'm sure you'd rather they be forced to give that up so others can do what they deem is best for that money.

Some buybacks are absurd and detrimental, but making a blanket statement like that sounds like hysterical screaming at the EVIL CORPORATE CLOUDS.  Even your democratic socialist utopias in Scandinavia don't outlaw them.  I specifically read about significant buybacks in Norway and Denmark in Q1.

Yes Apple should pay more for sitting on a pile of cash that’s the size of a GDP of a top 60 economy in the world.

Wouldn’t you say making it more incentivized for companies spend on capital investment and organic growth prospects is healthier for our long term economy than juicing executive comp packages and stock prices temporarily?

Buybacks were considered market manipulation until the 1980s. Wonder why.

How much more cowardly can we be in our scheduling to not get in this event?  Dodging an obvious loss to UWM and what would be our second straight to St Thomas.

The gap between us and UConn continues to grow.

Actually, I think we got aced out of the event because there is already one Big East team in the field. Maybe next year?
