The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

However, buying back shares at a mildly inflated price is still better than letting it sit in cash for years.

That is, assuming that the stock will generate more value per year than cash, which is most often the case.

Depending on the delta, it may not take long at all for the share buyback to be a better deal.

In the extreme case, obviously owning shares at a fair value or slightly overpriced value will be better in the long-term than sitting on 100% cash invested in t bills.
