To use a stock buyback to artificially support the stock price is wrong and probably illegal.

It may be illegal, and as you pointed out Joe M. did not state that as an objective. Clearly, it is a bargain for DCI to buy back their own shares at low prices. However, this buyback will also effectively support to the stock price, and there is nothing illegal or wrong about that (IMO). It helps to level the playing field for a BB stock that has to contend with market pressures not associated with listed stocks. This is merely a distinction between stated objectives and practical implications.
