Excellent advice. I have always held that share buyback programs should be taken in to account when evaluating a particular stock. As these shares are taken off the market your shares become more valuable, it's nothing more than dilution in reverse. A look at real numbers is helpful too as opposed to percentages. (i.e.) Would you rather have 50% of $10.00 or 10% of $100.00? This is especially true when looking at increases in sales and profits. When an article says that a company has a 10% sales or profit increase, look to see 10% of what!
