What do you guys think of buybacks vs. dividends? We hope you enjoyed the video.

There is a third option with dividends other than cash or cheque. I enrol in the Reinvestment program with some companies that I am invested in. My dividend is more shares.

We need a video on the "stock options" for executives.

I feel that repurchases and dividends are both nice, and are quite similar when it comes down to it. What I don't like to see is companies letting their cash sit idle or worse, buy an overpriced acquisition or buying stocks from the stock market or overinvesting in their business to generate low incremental returns when it could be giving the money back to shareholders. If you can't grow your business, buy back the stock!

Buybacks are better, but it is psychological. If there is low div, the price of the stock won't be as high and they can buy more shares.

Would you explain franking further in an other video?

I'd much rather see cash reserves than a buyback. That would give me longterm confidence that a company could weather storms.

Since i am a better investor than the company with sitting cash, i would prefer dividends to buybacks 😊

Buybacks is a lazy way to increase stock prices, instead of actually growing the company
