Re: Buy back vs. Raised Dividend

I know right...i report spam alll day...im so sick of it....buy ya i
think the div would push the stock up a lot more than this buyback.
People know a buyback is not for sure....they say they are going to
buy back 15 bill in stock but they really dont even have to buy $1. Im
sure WMT will buyback 10-12 billion in that time span but still a
dividend makes investers less fearfull.
