RE:Quiet is good...I'm really holding out hope for, as you put it, "quietly" buying back shares. The s/p performance has been abysmal to be polite but it does offer them a good opportunity to buy back a lot of shares cheap. Really though, considering how low the s/p is, it might even be a good idea to pause debt repayment and throw everything at share buybacks as long as the shares are, say below 30. When they reintroduce dividend increases it'll save a ton of money not paying divy to the canceled shares.
