Are Buybacks Distorting Stock Prices?

In this special Canada Day episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we dive into the dangers of speaking in absolutes when it comes to investing. From misconceptions about invincible companies like Visa, Mastercard, and Nvidia, to the importance of framing investment theses around probabilities rather than certainties, we discuss how rigid thinking can blindside investors to potential risks.  We also explore the concept of blackout periods for stock buybacks and their impact on market demand. With companies potentially repurchasing up to $1 trillion worth of shares by 2025, we consider how this practice might artificially boost stock prices and the potential repercussions if buybacks decrease. We finish this episode by discussing stocks that we added to our watchlist.
