@lritter @nswigger Not as long as you retain your empathy.

@lritter @nswigger You can hate something and still make the best out of it. If you can't stop it, why not at least profit from it while it lasts?

@david_chisnall @ananas @zeenix @nswigger To be precise, only the circulating or outstanding shares should be considered. When companies do stock buybacks (instead of paying taxable dividends), they're effectively reducing the outstanding shares to increase the stock price. In sum, the market value should remain the same though.
