Yes buybacks are an issue especially in a low interest rate environment - and that got a whole lot easier with the last softening of yields. The biggest problem with earnings is the way buy side analysts are rewarded. It is is easy to get earnings beats if the buy side analyst reduces the estimates which is what they do.
