When a company buys their stock back, it reduces the amount of outstanding shares. This in turn ups their earnings-per-share even if they don’t make a penny more. It is often referred to as funny accounting or fuzzy math.



It also reduces the cash outflow. You have to have free cash flow to do it, though, and lots of it.

This guy's a great CEO. Buy on the dips. The volatility in the markets reflects the instability of the administration in the U.S. and nothing more.

If leadership stabilizes, so will the markets and the only risky place is in high risk stocks. You stick with megacap tech stocks and it's awfully hard to get burned, particularly when so many are seeking diversification of revenues now, unlike NFLX who essentially put all their eggs in one basket, but he'll probably figure it out too.
