Over the past decade we’ve seen a major shift in companies moving away from issuing dividends in favor of stock buybacks, and although this practice has been criticized by some of the media, it’s hard for investors to know if this strategy should impact their decision about whether or not to invest in the companies that issue them. Nathan discusses how stock buybacks work, and what they signal about the companies that initiate them. Also, on our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History, Nathan and Steve offer lessons from the Bear Market of 1973.
