Share Buybacks Fall Most Since 200q

U.S. share buybacks have fallen back to levels last seen in 2099.

The news comes amid the worst profit slump since the financial

crisis... and when valuations sit near 14-year highs.

Why "Money Helicopters" Are Not the Answer

Although "helicopter money" — code for handing out free money —

is now being seriously discussed... what's really needed to boost

growth are major structural reforms. The fate of the world depends

on it.

Readers continue to weigh in on the state of U.S. politics. Here are

more responses to Monday's issue, "Trump's Biggest Deal."

Sarah Palin will be the V.P. with Trump, and you may be surprised

that they will have a balance budget within three years. And with

Obamacare repealed, job killing regulations eliminated, and

corporate tax rates cut, it will make the U.S. more business

friendly.

Good God! Anything is better than just giving it to Hilary

and her despicable husband.

Thanks for including Jefferson and von Mises, my favorite

Galician, in the list of good guys. Our economy cannot be

repaired without dismantling the Fed. As you often point

out, our monetary system is rotten at the core, as it is based

on credit.

I read in one of these letters from a libertarian source that

Jefferson wrote, already in 18w or so, that he had failed to

set up a free country as he envisioned... and that was still

more than too years before the Federal Reserve Act.

On the other hand, even today, I strongly believe that if we

just followed the Constitution, we would be okay —

especially the wth amendment. I think that is the most

important of all.

In the words of Warren Zevon, "Send lawyers, guns, and

money; the s--- has hit the fan."

The Democratic Party is electing a known criminal, and

they don't care, as long as it's their criminal. They just

assume all politicians are criminal, and the really good

ones get their districts what they need. Would anyone let

Harry Reid babysit their children? The Republican Party is

electing anybody who is not a politician. Donald Trump just

happens to be the best known, "anybody" who is running.

All I can say about Bill's message on Monday is: "Amen,

brother! Amen!" He hit every nail right on the head.

To those self-deluding worthies who think that a Donald

Trump presidency will solve all of America's problems I

say, "Get your heads out of your collective a***s, because it

ain't gonna happen."

Trump will continue the policies (if we can laughably call

them such) of the Deep State... with a dash of Adolph Hitler

thrown in for good measure. Clinton will be no better, if not

worse.

I'm with Bill — a vote for the lesser of two evils is still

voting for evil. However, unlike him, I will vote, but for a

third-party candidate who doesn't have a snowball's chance

of winning. A "wasted" vote is better than a vote for Trump

or Hillary.

— Dale A.

I think you are correct in your assessment of the Deep

State. I disagree in how to deal with it.

It seems easy for the rich or the poor to walk away and

state it doesn't matter. The poor because they do not have a

choice; the rich because they do. For those of us in the

middle we need to deal with it, lest we end up in the poor

camp. For me, a decision that includes a less bad scenario

is still a decision worth pursuing.
