Buybacks: Veteran hedge fund manager Mark Yusko is deeply skeptical of the stock buyback boom set off by President Donald Trump's tax overhaul. Share buybacks are a common practice where companies repurchase their own shares as a way to return excess capital. Rather than spending billions on share buybacks, Yusko argued that companies would help society more by reinvesting in projects, building new factories and retraining workers. Others say buybacks disproportionately help the rich because the wealthy own most of the stock market. Job openings: On Tuesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release a report on US job openings in December.
