RE:RE:REPurchased 72 million shares???BS<p> WOW thanks for that clarification!!! Most if not all companies pay their executives in stock options as well wages. We all know that ?? Vermilion's balance sheet looks pretty good, I would personally prefer higher dividends and give the share buyback program up. The float is low enough? maybe they can work through this windfall tax situation so we can apply it to the debt as well dividends. The Canadian Government said they would not apply a windfall tax ??? They now have the grocery giants on the stand!!!!! </p> <p> You go into to business knowing there is a risk!!!! But guess want your taking the risk so you should also be able to rep the the rewards of profit!!!!!!
