I recall reading a piece a couple months ago from Goldman Sachs that S&P 500 companies had bought back over $800B in shares in 2018 and they forecast that the number would be over $900B in 2019. And we will surely have a market correction in the near to midterm future that makes those share buyback prices seem rich.
