Joseph, I already addressed the issue of "effect".

The point is not that they should have been buying at 50. Rather that the existence of the buyback program would have limited the downdraft - as I explained in another post. It was psychological. Plus, actually, a well timed buy can squeeze the shorts with very few shares used. And finally, the cancellation was like a red flag to a bull. Those in the know got to profit, while the little guy got margin calls. Why cancel? Perfect timing - not. And why not announce, so that the little guy too can protect himself?
