Dear Reader,
The traditional retirement is broken.
Social Security is on track to be insolvent by 2033. Inflation is quietly erasing 10–20% of your purchasing power every few years. And that 401(k)? It was never designed for the world we live in today.
Wall Street's advice hasn’t changed in 40 years—"Buy. Hold. Hope."
But hope isn’t a strategy.
Markets are more volatile than ever. And those predictable “average returns”? They’re a myth.
It’s time for a new playbook.
Imagine generating weekly income—real cash flow—without riding the emotional rollercoaster of the market... and without babysitting your account all day.
That’s exactly what my weekly paycheck method is designed to do.
It’s a simple, repeatable strategy I’ve used for years to flip the script on traditional investing.
✅ Weekly income
✅ Low time commitment
✅ No Wall Street jargon
This method has helped thousands of everyday investors take back control—and now it’s your turn.

Take back your future,

These 3 Stocks Are Using Buybacks to Signal Market Confidence
Written by Leo Miller. Published 11/18/2025.
Key Points
- Trade Desk lifted its buyback authorization with shares down over 60%. Its future spending pace may indicate how confident management is going forward.
- Thermo Fisher added a $5 billion buyback program and continues opportunistic repurchases tied to market valuation.
- Tapestry plans to return 100% of free cash flow to shareholders in FY2026, boosting its buyback target to $1 billion.
Several key stocks are making notable buyback announcements. Below, we examine the latest moves by Trade Desk, Thermo Fisher, and Tapestry—and what they reveal about each company's capital return strategy.
Trade Desk Ups Buybacks by $500 Million, But Spending Pace Could Slow
First up is Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD). Trade Desk has endured a brutal year: shares are down 64% after its Q3 earnings report triggered an almost 39% drop on Aug. 8. Slowing growth and concerns about competition from Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) have raised questions about the company's competitive position.

On its Q3 earnings call, the company announced approval of a $500 million repurchase authorization, roughly 2.5% of its market capitalization.
That amount is modest relative to the roughly $1.14 billion Trade Desk spent on buybacks last year. If spread over the next 12 months, the $500 million program would represent a material deceleration in the firm's buyback pace.
With the stock trading at its lowest level in over three years, some investors likely expected a more aggressive repurchase commitment.
Still, the company could deploy the current authorization quickly and then announce additional buybacks. The speed at which management uses this authorization will be a useful signal of its confidence in Trade Desk's turnaround prospects.
Thermo Fisher: Opportunistic Repurchaser Adds $5 Billion Authorization
Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO) is one of the largest companies in the life sciences and laboratory tools industry. Shares have delivered roughly a 12% total return in 2025.
The company's Q3 2025 results beat estimates on both revenue and earnings per share.
The market also responded favorably to Thermo's deal with Vaxcyte (NASDAQ: PCVX), in which Vaxcyte secured space in Thermo's North Carolina manufacturing facility and committed up to $1 billion.
That news pushed Thermo shares up 5% on Sept. 30 and another 9% on Oct. 1.
On Nov. 6, the company announced a $5 billion repurchase authorization, roughly 2.3% of its about $218 billion market capitalization.
The new authorization gives Thermo flexibility to maintain a strong repurchase pace if management chooses. The company spent $1 billion on buybacks last quarter and has allocated $3 billion to repurchases so far in 2025—even after pausing buybacks in Q2.
Thermo's approach tends to be opportunistic rather than steady, with large repurchases in some quarters and none in others. Management typically steps up buybacks when the stock price dips significantly, attempting to enhance shareholder value through tactical timing.
Tapestry Looks to Return 100% of Cash Flow to Shareholders
Last is consumer discretionary stock Tapestry (NYSE: TPR), owner of luxury brands including Coach and Kate Spade. The stock has had an impressive year, delivering a total return of 57%. Coach, which accounted for about 84% of revenue last quarter, continues to drive the company's performance.
While Tapestry didn't increase its overall repurchase authorization, it raised its fiscal 2026 buyback target to $1 billion from $800 million.
That target would equal roughly 4.8% of the firm's market capitalization, with about half of the planned spending still to be executed.
Tapestry has been aggressively returning capital to shareholders.
It repurchased over $2.8 billion of stock in the past 12 months, resulting in a 12.6% buyback yield.
Combined with a 1.6% dividend yield, the company's goal to return 100% of free cash flow to shareholders in FY2026 is a notable commitment to capital returns.
TTD, TMO, TPR Offer Different Approaches to Buybacks
The buyback announcements and capital-return policies of Trade Desk, Thermo Fisher, and Tapestry illustrate three different approaches. With Trade Desk's shares down dramatically, swift deployment of its new authorization would be an encouraging sign. Thermo Fisher's practice of buying opportunistically when shares fall can add meaningful value over time. And Tapestry's aggressive return-of-capital plan underscores confidence in its core brands and financial strength.
As each company moves forward, the timing and execution of buybacks will be a telling indicator of management priorities and long-term strategy.
