"Intention to buy back is reason to sell stock". If I left that impression it was unintentional. For me it is ruthless: A rational expectation of capital loss (depreciation) is the reason to sell stock. A rational expectation of capital gains is the reason to purchase stock. Where "gain" and "loss" are both absolute and relative terms. Relative versus opportunity cost. Absolute on their own merit. In between these decisions no intent stands immutable. Ever. For that is dogma and is imprudent. I neither love nor hate stocks. Provided one does not adjust one's expectations more frequently than the Nyquist frequency of business information flow, one is adopting a prudent "long term" stance. John.
