I do understand that JT has most recently suggested that buy-backs have stopped for the time being.  But that was right after a buying spree.  I want another, ongoing buying spree to bolster the PPS for obvious (self-centered) reasons, and to increase the value of the company in the way of liquid corporate assets.  I just see it as a major "win-win" manuever for all concerned.

And I agree, the only viable reason for not doing as I so strongly suggest is IF there were an acquisition on the immediate horizon.  But if that event is more than 4-6 months out there, then it's IMO a weak excuse for not acting on buy backs NOW.

Well, I've gone nuts on this crusade enough....  And all just reiterations of what I've said in the past.  Time for me to shut up!
