Corporate Finance in a Nutshell

This is the best summary of corporate finance that I have ever seen, hence I want to share it with you.

Well I had studies corporate finance in b-school (didn't like it at the time - I generally don't like things others decide I should know :) ) however, I am learning it all over again, for fun and as a student of economics in general.

I cannot share with you enough disdain I have for share buy backs especially by big corporations involved in the commodity, retail or consumer discretionary sectors. Investors wont necessarily use their money to buy the stocks of some of all these dead beat, growth lacking companies (staffed with greedy and ineffective CEOs most of the time). Return my money to me in form of dividends..forget the tax man...with capital gains tax at all time low of 15% , I would share my gain with IRS in a heartbeat instead of doing thesame with wall street....what do u think?
