44Island: Stock buyback is one way of returning monsy to shareholders that is more tax efficient than increased dividends.
A good way to do that is by splitting the share into a new common share plus a redemption share. Your basis splits between the two. It can be any split, such as 90% \ 10%, or whatever.
The redemption share is then bought back for cash on a certain date. You end up with the same fraction of the company as you did before, plus some cash. You have,a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the redemption price and your redemption share basis.
The basis in your remaining shares is reduced so if you sell in the future you will have more taxable gain. But who wouldn't prefer to have deferred tax on long term gain rather than be taxed on dividends today.

It is a foregone conclusion that the result of the Fed's 2pm meeting will be a 0.75% rate hike so that should be alrready built into the markef. But watch shorts try and say iit' a big surprise!

Now that's the only medicine the Fed has to prescribe but it it may be the wrong medicine, because this inflation is not caused by too much demand but by too little supply. The cure is in Biden's hands to restart the Keystone pipeline and fracking as a gesture of recognition that their "green only" policybis an economic disaster, and turn on all oil and gas sources in the USA.

When I look into those zombie eyes however, the chances of getting any such common sense action is nil.
