cuz the c-suite and board only gives a shit about their compensation
buybacks = short term stock boost
when shit gets bad they’ll be the first to sell
always watch insider sales of high buyback firms

It’s how you know he is super smart, and you should follow him with SPX 5000 calls for November

Yup, just spit out whatever reason they can come up with to fit whatever happened instead of just saying the market movement is mostly random noise and we don't know shit.

a price drop never stays down. people are in for buy low sell high. propping up is to keep the drop from happening.
never treat theories as businesses being "nice"
they are not. they want trillions of dollars .. crazier than a social network issuing an IPO.

So you’re assuming that all these major businesses share popular bearish WSB sentiment. You’re already off the rails in considering a bad recession a best case scenario. When was the last time the market crashed when everyone expected it?

This is my approach. I'm definitely going to buy calls, puts, or stay out of the market.

Visual mod has become so sentient that it’s calling the stock market a casino. What a time to be alive

My money is on "this is the new reality of modern stock market trading"...shit just gets weirder as more people find new and exciting ways of trying to exploit the system from their phones while the old guard try to desperately adhere to the way things were and what they were used to seeing happen at any given moment...
Maybe the chaos dies down and things go back to normal after a few months or a year...maybe it gets more chaotic...maybe we all die when Yellowstone's volcano erupts...all I know is it's never been easier to simultaneously ruin your life or earn enough to buy a house while touching your phone screen and cross your fingers...

The time period you have selected excludes periods of high inflation. The normal yield curve inversion is not reflected in the 3 mo to 10 yr but 2 yr to 10 yr. So in summary the chart has cherry picked inappropriate time periods and also inappropriate measurment of yield curve inversion. Misleading with statistics personified.

“The guy” sez this time (may be) different.
In other words, it might go up, or it might go down.

I don’t think using the same number of employees as 2020 is a good measure to see if the companies are bloated. But the amount of “wasted resources” in big tech companies (FAANG) is insane. The only reason why they were able to support this was because of the crazy profits that were raked in, take that profit out of the equation and everything falls through.

>The answer to your question is quite simple: companies buy back their own stock because it is an easy way to increase shareholder value. By buying back stock, companies are essentially telling investors that they believe their shares are undervalued and that they are committed to increasing the value of the company. This often has a positive effect on share prices, as investors see that the company is confident in its future prospects.
However, you're right in saying that there could be some ulterior motives at play here. It's possible that companies are using buybacks as a way to artificially prop up their share prices during times of market turmoil. This can give the impression that all is well when really there could be underlying problems with the business. So while buybacks can be a good thing for shareholders, it's important to keep an eye on why companies are doing them and whether or not they're sustainable in the long-term
