HI Da Rookie, I think each company differs. Usually the company likes to make a wise value oriented purchase - that way more stock can be bought. I had a small company anen that all but went private buying up there stock.The a private equity firm bought out the remaining. Nvls was buying back large blocks and Lrcx bought up the rest. T seems to indicate that it repurchases its stock when it goes below 32. One never really knows what the intentio is. If a merger is involved then they accelerate the buyback to simply reduce the outstanding shares. With the fewer number of public companies out there and those remaining doing strong buy backs - it is in general very supportive of a solid market. Certainly makes shorting dangerous at the macro level - but then many stocks lose their business or get over priced. Wish I had a more concrete formula but I'm not aware of one. Bob
