The flip side of that argument is that they were going to be issuing shares for employee compensation anyway. If they end up even in a year it really is a net reduction in shares.

>>I've got one comment about the stock repurchase that people have failed to notice. Apparently the $50 million in stock repurchases are going to used for employee stock option plans. That means within a 6 - 12 month time frame the effect of this anouncement is nothing. They will have SPENT this money for employee compensation/benefits. Sure it will produce some short term price stability or boost, but I bet that 12 months from now, that you have the same or more shares outstanding than you do today.<<
