Have been following ETFC (Euro Trade and Forfaiting, Inc.) since early spring, and yesterday they announced a buy back program (found this and more info at averyltd.com) - here's a quote from their news release: "ETFC has substantial cash reserves including continued profits from trade activities giving it the ability to fulfill a significant buyback program when suitable."
  They also recently filed to go on Nasdaq, and announced year-end profits of $4.1 million.
  They filed an amended Form 10 in September  (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1075249/0001060277-99-000046-index.html)
  A quote from it:
  "Management  believes  that the  Company  is capable  of  expanding  its forfaiting and structured trade participation businesses to over $200 million by the year 2000.  Management  anticipates  that expansion can be  accomplished  by increasing the Company's marketing and trading activities. This expansion, which will lead to an increase in the size of the Company's trading portfolio, will be financed through the extension of borrowing  facilities on  predominantly  asset backed borrowing facilities available from banks.
  The  Company  intends to market to  European  exporters  the ability to finance exports to Indonesia.  Additionally,  the Company intends to develop the ability  to  exchange  trade debt  purchased  at a  discount  for other  assets, initially in Indonesia  where the Company has  experience  and a market base. If successful, the Company will consider expanding to other markets."
  Interested in other thoughts on this -- good investing.
