RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:$100/share in sight... time for take offMost stocks esp in the US receive significant price support in the form of share buybacks. If they didn't buyback shares every year, their share price would be much lower. Say for example a company has 100M shares and every year 20M share are bought and sold net net - ie 80M shares are held by shareholders who didn't transact and simply left their stock in their account - so share price stays the same more or less. Now introduce share buybacks, now 25-27M shares are bought and sold but those extra 5-7M sold are from shareholders who would have otherwise not sold so presumably they'll want a premium. Now Do that for a few years...
