I believe Wildcatter already answered this one. Its not a big deal to renew the NCIB year after year. I believe many corporations do it on a regular yearly basis and may not even utilize it. Just in case sort of thing. Its not like the firm is obigated to buy the remaining balance within the allotted time frame. That's just plain silly. As far as the Cambridge Show, I don't think ISM has ever had a booth at any of their shows. But I hear they did have their booth set up overseas. Wonder how that went.

I'd like to hear more about that
