Yes, you always quote a meaningless stat, where companies guide analyst to a lower hurdle. Hey let’s run 30” 110 meter hurdles.
It is your silly posts that shouldn’t be taken serious.

Oh, the irony!

Well what I posted was how companies did compared to analysts’ predictions. Your post referred to earnings growth. It was an apples to oranges comparison.
Your post was misleading, mine was not.
They were both pretty straightforward and easily understandable to people who are involved in investing. And now you understand too.

Ha ha. In your mind pointing out irony in a post is harassment. Talk about weak.
Ah, that is all you got.

I love buybacks.

“With flat net income, the purchase of a net 1.2 billion Apple shares means that per-share earnings are slated to rise from $9.22 in fiscal 2015 to $11.51 this year.
What’s that mean for investors? Well, you’re paying a near double premium in share price for a company that hasn’t grown earnings in 4 years. That’s called multiple expansion. $AAPL’s forward earnings multiple in 2015 was 11-2, now it’s near 17. That means you’re taking on a lot more risk than in 2015. In fact the multiple expansion is between 45%-55%.”

Love it!
I have never understood Igy’s aversion to buybacks. Perhaps he does not understand the principle of supply and demand. Anyway they are certainly of benefit to the investors holding the affected equities.

You have never understood the process where companies buyback stock, lowering share count, not investing in the future growth, while the insiders sell back to the public market. Investors like you foolishly believe they have bought something of value.
A company that is buying back shares may also be investing in future growth. THey are not mutually exclusive. They may just have so much cash reserves they feel it would be a better investment than say low yields on interest.
“$SPX is 0.31% above the January 2018 highs. It only took what? $1.5 trillion or so in buybacks since then and a complete capitulation in Fed policy and a rate cut. Impressive? Surely not.”

Haven't the stock buybacks been going on long before the 2018 highs?
A lot of forces go into making a market, and always will. Some work in your favor, some don't. If you don't like that, i might understand why you would favor CD ladders.

Actually I understand the process very well. You seem to not understand that buybacks add value to stock thereby being a positive thing for those currently invested. There’s nothing foolish about holding stock that rises in value.
