RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:is this halted ???The other companies increasing in this environment are those that are buying back stock. They know they are cheap and probably loading up now for the benefit of the shareholders staying in.
Personally, I prefer the share buybacks as I dont have to pay tax on those. The people selling are paying the tax. And, if it results in a price increase to the stock I get a capital gain vs a dividend. Another tax win.
Everyone's situation is different. Enjoy the ride.
