I dont disagree with the biggest of the sentence, but this is silly.  It benefits all shareholders equally (on a percentage basis).  It not like a shareholder only gets stock price appreciation if they have a 7 figure position or above.  10% is 10%.  Parsing stock price activity because larger positions means larger profits is bizarre to me.

I mostly agree, but I think there are a lot of times where a board approves a buyback with an eye toward its stock ledger, too.  E.g. if a company has a relatively high proportion of outstanding shares from exec compensation or past mergers, the board knows that when they consider a buyback vs dividend or other uses for the cash.  I think buybacks can sometimes be used to help founders and execs get liquid without having to sell their shares and raise questions of confidence in the company.

At the end of the first post, Dodds references a remark Shaka dropped about a player leaving who thought MU was going to stink and now Oso is better than that player.

Hah nice. Thanks for the explanation

Fallout was fun. Another case of enjoying a show I didn't even know was based on a video game until well into the season.

Though post-apocalyptic like The Last Of Us, the similarity mostly ends there. It's not as good as TLOU - but few series have been, so that's not really criticism.

The always-great Walton Goggins plays a central character with an interesting backstory, and the two other leads are good too. Fallout is  gory as hell, but it's also funny quite often. Recommend.

Watched it and played some of the games.  It does them justice.  Good show.

I don't love buybacks. The often are executed when the stock price is overvalued rather than undervalued, and they mostly benefit the largest shareholders - in other words, upper management and institutions.

Right now, there are a dozen teams as bad or worse than the A’s.

If the Cards don’t want to compete anymore, I’d get rid of them 1st.

To be fair, a good chunk of the fan base is poor from legal defenses and buying autographed bibles

Nova still has a bunch of roster spots open, contingent upon what Dixon and Armstrong decide.      Lucky them.

I’m surprised Armstrong is still out there.  I think he’s really good.

The Royals are a decade removed from a World Series win.  24 teams isn't enough.  What baseball needs is a salary cap and a salary floor.

Especially when almost all of the losing teams get millions and millions in revenue sharing.


But some owners don’t care if they win. They just want to keep their money tree healthy.

I should have said the A's ownership is embarrassing.   The players continue to meet or exceed expectations.   Use their moronic owners as focus and motivation.

I second the Odartey Blankston call above. Very good looking player and could have been a key piece when he left.
