    Sooo that means GoDaddy will pass on some of those earnings to domain investors that pay to use their services? The same domain investors that GoDaddy made money off of? NOT!
    If you think that GoDaddy or any other publicly listed company cares about you, you’re wrong. You are just a number to them.
    It’s all about the shareholders and always will be!

      They couldn’t care less about the common mom and pop shareholder.
      Buybacks are an enrichment scheme for the executives, nothing else.
      GoDaddy has over $2bln in debt… why are they buying back stock?

    They should start a “Domain Buyback” program for small portfolio holders 🙂

    maybe they’ll include me in that first batch – they valued a portion of my portfolio last week at $500k
    things are getting crazy busy since then…
