so, let's see, they are going to dilute their stock by about 1% to cover the pension shortfall. And they are going to continue buying back shares to prop up their EPS. But not as much this month, cuz they already wrote off a bunch of shit so that they should make their EPS target. Gotta get me some of dat!!!
