Ralph,

There is one big difference. If you or I buy the stock we haven't retired the shares since the amount of outstanding shares hasn't decreased. While if the company does the same while retiring the shares you and I now own a larger percentage of the company. I find it very bullish to see a company repurchase its shares in the open market. Of course, we will have to wait to see if it was a good investment of corporate resources or not.

Good luck,

Steve
