To all CIST shareholders, Another company that I track VCSI announced a share repurchase on friday. It was a small one 100,000 shares. Immediately after the announcement the stock popped from the 2 1/2 range and closed at 3 3/4. Volume was tremendous. Obviously the shorts(manipulators decided to get out and cover their short position). So for a relatively small cash outlay $300,000 range VCSI's mgt. increased shareholder value $14 million. For a similiar stock repurchase $300,000 CIST's mgt. would increase shareholder value in the vicinity of $20 million or more just on the announcement.(Cistron's market value is at more distressed levels than VCSI was.) Good news for CIST Shareholders>>Cistron's Mgt. IS considering this buyback VERY seriously. If they proceed with one....WATCH OUT. For any CIST stock manipulators on this board(I know your here), BE VERY CAREFUL especially if you are shorting...
