jimbo i read an article in la times biz section headline only 33% of all companies who announce a share repurchase actually follow through and buy all the shares the board authorized them to. only 50% even buy any shares at all. we need to be careful when evaluating releases from companies announcing share repurchases, prefer to see insider buying with their own money, not including the exercise of stock options, great web site for this www.wallstreetcity.com one of technical readouts you can get is insider buying or selling and it eliminates stock options so you can see who is paying retail with their own money to buy stock in their company. cav ps this is misleading sometimes, also look at callaway golf insiders bought tons of stock weeks before they announced dissappointing earnimgs, stock dropped 33% they lost close to half a mil by buying early, cant accuse them of insider trading, maybe dislexic insider trading, but hey you know in golf low score wins maybe they thought thats how you keep score with your portfolio too. hope not....
