Both require board approval and not much else. I think I'm really galled by the way it reduces liquidity for a stock (makes institutional investors more able to impact price) and signals "no ideas". How can tech firms do buybacks and still face employees?

"No ideas" is true of all of buybacks, dividends, and sitting on hordes of cash. (
@ Google, Apple) And yet, it also seems sometimes better for an established company to admit that it's doing a few things well and doesn't want to dilute management's focus. -
The more honest way to do this is a dividend, so that's worrying.
