The Buyback Boost Goes Bye-Bye: @catch22

FYI: Buybacks have not only fallen out of style on Wall Street. They are quickly becoming faux pas.

"Nonetheless, most people on Wall Street think next year could be a bonanza for buybacks. That's mostly because of the Republican tax plan, which includes a tax break for companies that repatriate money they have overseas."
(This point was made by are own catch22 in an earlier discussion.)
