Hey Dennis. I am also eagerly awaiting the share buyback announcement. Since CREAF has expressed an interest in buying back shares, I would assume that they would announce it after the new laws are approved later this month.

Now, the really big question is how much do they buy back! I think CREAF would want to use a fair amount of its cash ($200 million???). Their business is not very capital intensive, they don't plan on making any big purchases, and they are continuously adding to their cash horde through operations.

With $200,000,000, they could buy around 20% of the float.

I wouldn't bet on an announcement before the very end of the month. I'm planning on adding to my position in anticipation, though.

Brian
