      bailouts are bad but "stock buybacks are bad" is a dumb stance, that many smart people embrace for some reason stock buybacks are just dividends with tax advantageshttps://twitter.com/TruthGundlach/status/1254978764011798529 …

      I doubt I am the only person frustrated by National-Debt-financed bailouts of companies that leveraged up large to buy back stock to levitate share prices to enrich shareholders and company executives.

      2/ Firms borrowing money is fine. "On the balance sheet" means that the owners of the equity have no change in net position. There is nothing wrong with either dividends or buybacks. Bailouts, though, are bad. https://twitter.com/SnuffyforShort/status/1255132542606340096 …

      3/ I have a burning hatred for bailouts ... but if they exist, why is it wrong to calculate them in? You go to w̶a̶r̶ commerce with the legal system you have. To pretend that you've got a different one to satisfy libertarian cranks like us seems...odd.https://twitter.com/shlevy/status/1255134481033261062 …

      There's nothing inherently wrong with dividends or buybacks, but there is something wrong with including a significant chance of bailout in your risk calculation when deciding to reduce liquidity.

          Would you say the same for e.g. investing in protectionist lobbying?

          Or maybe a better example, lobbying for tax increases with the money to be funneled toward your company?

          Yes, bailouts warp the risk calculations that companies (and their creditors) make. They make logical decisions to maximize profits, factoring in the likelihood they'd be bailed out by the feds. Which then is used to justify more bailouts later when the tail risk happens.
