Stock buybacks are one reason for inflated asset prices!!! This Stock Market Rally Has Everything, Except Investors Companies keep buying huge quantities of their own shares, propelling prices higher even as pensions, mutual funds and individuals sit on their hands. So who is pushing prices higher? In part, the companies themselves. American corporations flush with cash from last year’s tax cuts and a growing economy are buying back their own shares at an extraordinary clip. They have good reason: Buybacks allow them to return cash to shareholders, burnish key measures of financial performance and goose their share prices. The surge in buybacks reflects a fundamental shift in how the market is operating, cementing the position of corporations as the single largest source of demand for American stocks. The binge has helped sustain a bull market approaching its 10th birthday, even in the face of political, international and economic uncertainty. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/25/business/stock-market-buybacks.html
