    A very pragmatic approach by two companies that are very long term orientated, this investor approves..

    That is one of the benefits of being big. You can make a few mistakes and they don't cripple you. I'm sure that not all of Apples acquisitions have been successes.

    Share buyback announced for up to 8.9% of issues shares over the next 11 months. Another abject waste of (shareholder) money or a good use of capital - a link to the DRP that may be reintroduced?

    US share buy backs to top a trillion this year so must be a good idea?

    From one who would know?

    Presumably only a good use of capital if the company is well capitalized.
    IFT have continually had share buybacks approved but only buyback when market has deeply undervalued their share price.
    Smart move I would suggest particularly if we are ripe for a sell off in stock prices?
    A share buy back approval gives investors some confidence IFT share prce won't drop absurdly.

    They won't be reintroducing a DRP - to increase issued capital - at the same time as buying back shares - to reduce issued capital!
