Why do many people have a negative outlook on buybacks?

The logic is actually very simple—holding chips means there are continuous opportunities coming your way. Once you diversify your chips to do buybacks or other operations, your liquidity gets locked, and your purchasing power diminishes. And those saturated funds? They've already turned to find the next player with available capacity.

Instead of blindly participating in buyback expectations, it's better to maintain sufficient ammunition reserves. The market's greatest test is always who can hold onto their chips at critical moments.

That's right, chips are about the right to speak; once dispersed, it's gone. I've always thought that those promoting buybacks just want you to get off first.

That's right, having reserves in hand means you're not worried. Once liquidity is locked, you become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

You're right, saving bullets is more important than anything else.

Basically, it's being cowardly. If you've already used all your bullets, how can you buy the dip? That's the difference.

Chips need to be held tightly; once they are dispersed, it's over. The ones who truly make money are always the most energetic, not those trapped by buybacks.

Holding chips is holding opportunities. Once they are dispersed, it's over. That's why it's just best to listen when it comes to buybacks.

Holding chips > doing buybacks. The logic isn't that complicated. Once the funds are dispersed, it's equivalent to self-sabotage; liquidity dies, purchasing power is gone, and there's no chance of a turnaround.

Well said, holding onto the chips is the key. When the opportunity comes, going all in is the way to go. Rebuying that set? It's purely helping the big players unload.
