Well, Nitro;
i cant really blame him for hating what big banks did to the US taxpayer, like Citigroup[=bailed out by US taxpayer] tried to buy a overpriced airplane about the time of 2008 downtrend-LOL

However i disagree with him , heard him on talk radio, he seemed to think banks should charge same interest rate for homes[secured] ,as students loans[unsecured].LOL He also has good points about busting the trading part of banks, away from FDIC part, if that is what he meant?? Volker was for that also...........................................................

H is view is that there is a national benefit to lower rates for students, and that that in the long run will benefit us all.

I didn't buy the company because I thought they were good bond traders, and I didn't buy because they can just give me my own money back in the dividend. And if I thought it was a good idea for them to buy back I would just buy more.

Well it depends. Sometimes buybacks benefit the equity holders, and sometimes they don't. In general, I think it is safe to say that buybacks funded with borrowed money don't benefit the equity holders in the long run.

if they can't think of anything better to do than buy their stock then they are no smarter than I was when I bought it.

It is not mortgage rates. It is the rate on student loans. Sanders believes, as do I, that education , is the best investment of all.

oh, thanks for correcting me, at one time we thought home ownership was the American Dream, and now it's a college degree? I agree. We should manipulate rates way down on anything we like. I'm all for free education and will gladly pay for it in taxes, but don't get the banks involved.
