Comment on Automakers’ Electric Vehicle Lie

i like the sentiment, but im not sure the authors really understand the stock market or economics. the reason they do stock buybacks is part of an overall tightening strategy, to gain leverage, and be more able to respond to black swan market events. executive compensation is a drop in the bucket of the overall cash flow. there are very real risks involved in running huge auto businesses…although to be fair…the prospect that you’ll be bailed out by taxpayers makes all of that null.
