So far this week, the S&P 500 Growth index XX:SP500G+0.45% is down 1.2%, while, the S&P 500 Value index XX:SP500V+0.24% is up 0.2% over the same period.

But while the dollar-value of buybacks is on pace to reach record-highs, it's important to note that the stock market is also near all-time highs.
