Share buyback (buyback)

Corporate buybacks this year may reach their highest level since the start of the financial crisis, escalating debate over the wisdom of using hundreds of billions of dollars to temporarily improve quarterly results. Even if the total profit does not change, buybacks increase earnings per share (Earnings Per Share, EPS) by reducing the number of securities in circulation. The main focus of analysts and investors is not usually on the total profit margin., namely EPS. Buybacks criticized by some fund managers, including Larry Fink - CEO of Blackrock (assets under management 4,5 trillion dollars). In his opinion, some companies are too keen on buyouts and do nothing for long-term business prosperity. Politicians pay attention to the problem too. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called for more and more full disclosure of company operations. That being said, some activist investors see buybacks as a way to return money to investors..

Undoubtedly, Togo, who monitors the market in real time, can have thoughts of market control. This usually appears in cases of discrepancy between personal opinion and the development of the event of the market itself.. Usually,the smaller the time format, the more cases , controversial among traders.
The fact, what , as you know, only cash flow can guide the direction of a financial asset. This cash flow is not constant over time. The main cash flow comes from large players, who break their entry or exit from the market for a certain period of time. For example, one fund decided to buy 20 million shares, they are not bought for 1 a minute, the fund usually accumulates positions over time, say, on 1 month, that is, about 1 million per day. There is 2 way of execution, or by yourself through your desk, or give an order to your broker. In both cases, the broker or fund will use algorithmic VWAP or TWAP methods , so as not to significantly affect the market and also in search of liquidity, which may not be present at certain times of the day.
On some parts of the day and in low-liquid assets, even small prop traders are able to move the asset. So who are the dolls?
As you noticed, the main trading volume falls on the first and last hour of the market, roughly speaking, since the main algorithms are precisely tuned for this time. Also , many large brokers executing orders of large funds, work according to this principle , especially, when the broker lacks order execution for the day, at the end of the day he aggressively fills the market order, otherwise, his client will not be satisfied. Therefore, we often see bursts or sharp drops at the closing due to, that brokers are completing orders aggressively with market orders.
Failure of stops: If you take any day and take thousands of traders, then there will always be those, who will say, that their stop is ripped off at the very peak or bottom, hence, this is not an objective argument in favor of willfulness. Or rather, suppose, that many traders own those analysis and usually place stops in clusters and therefore there is a surge,but since the stops are placed at certain extreme levels, it often coincides with, that the main cash flow is suspended.
Also, recently HFT has become widespread, which in turn added volatility and liquidity.
And as in the case of mega trends and mega dolls?
Well, if you have hundreds of billions of dollars and a constant flow of the same amount, to be placed in risky assets!!?? It is not posted for 1 month. Here you can turn on & quot; BUYOK & quot;, which will buy out the market in any strait, the same algorithms will use at least, as much as possible can be adjusted to any parameter of the market change.
Who are these mega-dolls?? Major known, but there are also those, who is not particularly keen on publicity. One of them and the largest in the world. Meet, colossus WALL STREET — BlackRockwww2.blackrock.com/global/home/index.htm

Internet publishing SmartMoney.com published its ranking of the most influential people in the United States in various fields of activity (Government, Finance, Medicine, Industry, The property). Us, of course, interested in the section Finance, which we'll talk about. Below is a list of the most influential people on and around Wall Street.. Of people, determining the life of exchanges and investors' income. We should at least in general outline, what they are, what issues they are concerned about and what they propose to change. Lloyd Blankfein (Lloyd Blankfein), CEO, Goldman Sachs Goldman Sachs – one of those finance companies, that survived the Wall Street crisis and became stronger because of it. 55-year old former tax lawyer Blankfein was the first of all investment company heads to return the money taken from the government during the crisis ($10 billion). This allowed Goldman Sachs to get rid of excess state control., including for salaries and bonuses of employees. At all, Blankfein's main task now was not to make a profit (the company does it very well), and fighting off state attacks on the independence of financial corporations. About that, how the Goldmanite Sect works, I wrote once.

The most influential people on Wall Street

A year ago, with the markets and the economy in meltdown, the SmartMoney Power 30 was full of the usual cast of government giants and Wall Street heavyweights: Bernanke, Geithner, Buffett. But as we move to a new phase, a time of slow but seemingly steady recovery, some of the biggest players might seem more on the fringe—academics, advisers, even a lobbyist. What follows is a mix of the famous and not-so-famous, all trying to make sure in their own way that the Great Recession turns into the Great Recovery. Lloyd Blankfein CEO, Goldman Sachs It was one thing to take a big investment from Warren Buffett in the heat of the financial meltdown, but Uncle Sam? Better to keep him at a distance. That’s the not-so-subtle message from Goldman (GS: 185.57*, +0.07, +0.03%), which has emerged as one of Wall Street’s strongest survivors of the financial crisis. Blankfein, a 55-year-old former tax lawyer, was the first banking executive to repay government loans made during the crisis-$10 billion in Goldman’s case. While that freed the firm from strict oversight on its business, expect it to continue to take heat for its generous pay practices.
