RE:updated share count All I see are positives. When a company is buying back their own shares and at increasingly higher prices, that can only mean they believe their share are undervalued.
Parex isn't waiting for the price to move lower to buy. They are buying at the market bid consistently throughout the day.
Still not sure how Instinet plays into this with their end of day swaps, but all in all, the company is buying, and the float is getting smaller therefore the EPS will be affected positively when they report results.
