I would much prefer to see the money reinvested in the company. I was merely point out on of the most efficient ways to execute a buyback program. Dave

>>>Ckfr is a young, hungry company and would be better off to spend the cash on sales, marketing, R&D or to reduce debt. This is all opinion of course and it is up to management to decide if additional funds spent on sales, R&D, etc. will return dollar for dollar down the road. As for debt, I don't think CheckFree has allot of it. An additional option is to do both, you could spend some on additional Sales and R&D and some on a stock buyback. IMO >>>Executing a stock buyback would boost the stock price over the short term, but would not improve the underlying fundamentals of the company. IMO, it would also improve the stock price over the long term. Benny
