Senators Think Stock Buybacks Might Be Manipulative

A thing that I learned recently and sort of couldn't believe is that some politicians, like Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Baldwin, think that stock buybacks are bad and that the Securities and Exchange Commission should forbid them as market manipulation. I mean the first part of that did not surprise me. Lots of people think that stock buybacks are bad. Larry Fink thinks it! It's a totally respectable position.
