The Stock Buyback Swindle
- benj111 7y agoIs there anything inherently wrong with buybacks v paying dividends? If a company generated $1 does it make a difference whether its paid as a dividend or as a stock buy back. The 2 major differences seem to be tax treatment, and financial benefits accruing to the CEO. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to base CEO pay on say EPS stripping out the effects of share buy backs, if that's the concern. I'm just not convinced that stock buybacks are the bogyman they made out to be.
