What's more, the big bonuses that CEOs get are often linked to share price gains and increased earnings per share, so they have an incentive to pursue buybacks even when there are better ways to spend the cash or when the shares are overvalued. (Learn more in the Pages From The Bad CEO Playbook.)
By mopping up extra stock and keeping EPS up, buybacks is a convenient way for executives to maximize their own wealth. It's a way for them to maintain the value of the shares and share options. Some executives may even be tempted to pursue share buybacks to boost the share price in the short term and then sell their shares.
Many executives get the bulk of their compensation in the form of stock options. As a result, buybacks can serve a goal: as stock options are exercised, buyback programs absorb the excess stock and offset the dilution of existing share values and any potential reduction in earnings per share.

It's a way to shuttle money borrowed against a company's assets into my personal bank account at no risk to me........become a BILLIONAIRE IN FEW YEARS
When I play Railroad Tycoon III, I often send my company deep into debt to get cash on hand to buy back shares, effectively increasing my ownership of the company as an absolute percentage. Then I issue massive DILUTION WITH FREE OPTION GRANT PRINTING PRESS or DIVIDENDS s until my company goes bankrupt, and start a new company.
I think people like Reed and others, notably Meg Whitman should be running things in our country. The majority of politicians in DC have never had to balance the books at the end of the day or come up with a plan to make money for their company. All they do is vote and make photo ops.
Reed Hastings has re-invented what was a "sure thing" in the 80's-the corner video store. And he is making money at it, that is real capitalism. Take an idea, make it work, make money. Why can't Obama get it?
