To the "thread," Well, this time it appears that TFS is putting our money where its mouth is. Following the two earlier blocks of 20,000 shares plus, a new 116,000 common trade has just printed at $ 9.375. The shares were crossed by Furman Selz...home of Bob Cihra, the only noteworthy analyst still covering the company...so it suggests that Furman bought the stock back for TFS. Actually, when you think of it, if they don't find a way to compensate Cihra for the coverage, they would be ingrates, no? Anyway, my best guess is that they have already repurchased pretty close to 200,000 shares. Maybe this time it is different. What remains to be seen is how much of the full 1,000,000 share buyback the company actually completes. What it means for shareholders is that we have seen the "bottom." How quickly the stock will rally is dependent on new order news as well as whether TFS intends to repurchase the full million share authorization. Anyway, this is better than "nothing." Have a good day.

Not to criticize you N.O., but I really don't like the way you speak as though everything is fact. In fact, most of what you say is your opinion. You have no way of having "confirmation" that the company is the purchaser. You would only know if the company told you on the sly, in which case you would likely not share it with us. It is a dangerous thing to speak so confidently when really, you are just rendering your opinion. It would be very nice if the company was repurchasing shares. I will find out along with the rest of the investors in the not too distant future.
