Over the long term, do share buybacks not destroy companies value, as it results in negative " Total shareholder Equity"

Q: Hi 5i gang,
I suspect that travel-related stocks are at their bottoms or nearly so. My impression is that airlines will be first sub-sector to rally, especially if the U.S. government goes ahead and sends them big stimulus checks that are being rumoured about these days. Given this context, which airline companies in your opinion have the best prospects of returning to their prior Covid-19 levels?

Q: What is your opinion on using VCIP as a 'slightly riskier than cash' investment vehicle for a holding period of 6-12 months? It is obviously riskier than HISAs/GICs/PSA, but do you think it is riskier than XSB/VSB/HFR? There is an equity component to VCIP, but given its greater diversification compared to XSB/VSB/HFR, I wonder if, paradoxically, it might actually be 'safer'. I note that when the pandemic hit, even VSB/HFR fell quite precipitously. Would you advocate a mix of VCIP/VSB/HFR instead? If so, how would you weight the three? Thank you.
