RE:NCIB and Insider TransactionsWestern's buy-back is not likely a big deal.
They put this in place some time ago and havn't done much.
400,000 shares sounds OK until you consider they have 394,000,000 shares outstanding.
So, 0.1% just got cancelled.
Not awful given the div, but this is capital they ought to be putting in iron on the ground.
Divs are for companies with a good asset base, not guys who need to grow.
