KenG, it is interesting that you cite IBM as an example. I’ve been a shareholder in IBM since mid-October 2008 and positively LOVE their strategy. They have a cash-cow business, throws off a ton of...

TFF, I didn’t choose IBM as an example, y2kurtus did. And he chose the time period. I don’t feel it’s safe to assume that their growth in earnings was a result of added investment, but rather a change...

Ideal holding period: forever. Annuities are dead. Fixed income is dead. (The yields are so low on each that they are worse than useless.) You can fund a retirement on 3% dividends AND get built-in...

KenG, I think I explained myself quite clearly. You may disagree, but don’t put words into my mouth. Share buybacks are good for shareholders to the extent that they drive per-share earnings higher....

Without reading all the comments, I will say the “investment is good and speculation is bad” construct is fatally flawed. I’m a big supporter of more regulation of the finance industry, but I think...
