This News Release should definitely bump the price up. Has the CFO been on CNBC yet?

I really doubt that they will repurchase 10 million shares of stock. Just because they announce a share buyback, doesn't mean they actually buy any shares-this is just a PR ploy. Ask IR or yourself: How many shares were purchased under the 1996 program? From June 96 to June 97 shares INCREASED from 100,896,000 to 101,246,000. So I would say no shares were purchased under the program. I would bet a year from now the amount of shares outstanding will be greater than 101,246,000 !
