RE:CRH Medical stock purchasesI would not bet on that , that the company would buy 10million shares. The original mandate was to buy back 10% of the shares outstanding and that is about 7.3 million, or 10% of 73million shares. And not even that. If you read carefully the co can buy "up to" 10% of the shares outstanding. And the deadline i suppose was untill the end of September, unless the company is going to renew the mandate, which i doubt, because the compsny needs the funds for more acquisitions and not buy backs. The company is a growth company and it needs the funds to grow its base. For the shortsighted shareholders, the best thing is to buy back shares in order to boost the price of the stock. But if you have a long term horizon the best thing is to expand its market share and thrive in the future. And i am of that persuation. GL
