RE:RE:RE:WhyThere is no way to measure a stocks performance on buybacks 5 milion shares would have taken us from 266 to 261 million im not sure that would move the market. Having said that I wish it went to debt just to get it done then buy back in these softer markets. If he chose to buy back shares instead over the last couple of months his cost to buy back would have been at least 11.00 a share. Maybe not buying was the smart move.
