When markets are in the crapper, the news cycle is relentless in blame, fear & despair. When markets approach highs, it is an unsustainable โ€œmelt-up,โ€ not based on value. How about we just appreciate the good part of the cycle and remember that the best investing is long-term.

Capital structure optimization should be left for Boards, mgt and shareholders to decide. Taxing buybacks up to 4% vs returning capital to stakeholders (individual investors) seems arbitrary and manipulative. Should we give companies a 4% tax credit every time they issue stock?
