Don Earl:

Thank you for your kind comments!

"If nothing else, I'd think insider trading regulations should apply to the transactions. I've seen a lot of cases where a company will announce buy backs while insiders are exercising options and dumping the stock in the open market. At the very least the six month rule should apply. If the company is buying, insiders should be prohibited from selling for six months. I think there are times when buy backs make some sense. For example, when a company is debt free and has a lot of cash at the bottom of the chart. But I don't think insiders should be allowed to use shareholder assets to make a market for their personal sales.

I agree!
