### REPLY:
Take GE for example. They borrow $20B to buy back their own shares at $30/share instead of growing their company or reducing debt. Now if they were to try to resell those shares to get that money back, they would probably have to sell 4x as many shares which would destroy their stock value. 
  
 They are going bankrupt.
