Clo,

When we were in the stock analyst game many years ago and a company buys back its shares and increases its dividend it usually meant that they were either making too much money to know what to do with it or that they couldn't find anything better to do with their money such as create some additional jobs! It is also interesting to note that non profits such as hospital corporations usually keep expanding in order to use up their profits and keeep their non profit exception.


Regards,


Joe
