CEOs are already pocketing windfalls and the tax bill hasn't even passed yet

You mean people are trying to maneuver around laws to maximize their income?!

NO WAY!!!

Since the Senate passed its version of the tax bill on December 2, 29 companies have announced $70.2 billion in stock buybacks, a maneuver that uses company cash to buy its own shares, which then drives up the price of those shares, rewarding major investors and executives whose compensation is directly tied to the company’s stock price.

And everyone who has a 401k benefits too.

That's the only people it rewards huh? Get out of here with this shite.

OP just took a public IQ test

It didn't go well

Awesome.

Am I supposed to care or be mad about this?

Sounds like something a pussy femme would even give a second thought about

I own stock in 3 of the company’s listed. Helps me financially as well!

Or they are loading treasury shares anticipating stock prices to continue to increase. Or perhaps they anticipate increasing dividends and would rather not pay on all the stock currently outstanding. Both of those are more feasible than trying to manipulate a stock price. I'd also like to see where the CEOs, rather than the board, are driving these decisions.

Besides, the top 4 companies make up more than half of the overall figure.i don't see this as that significant.

And how is this illegal or even bad in some way?

It's not. They're super common, and have been for a few decades. OP is just posting an article designed to prey on the typical person's ignorance of the topic.

Why do you care if someone else makes a bunch of money via investment or work? You sure sound like a loser. Go earn something and quit complaining about the successes of others. It isn’t at your expense.
