  1. The money spent on buybacks dont just disappear into the oblivion, it goes right back to investers who put that money into other company. Sometimes a company has reached their limit of growth, where they dont really need any more factories, workers, ect. In that case, the money would justsit there, unused. A stock buyback gets this money back onto the market, reinvesting and that is why they aregood for our economy
