You will see most of these companies cratering deeper then their benchmark indices till valuations low enough to justify buybacks. .... seen watched and followed many of them, have first hand experience as I traded some of these types in the last few years. lehman's total buyback will be 100 million shares (intended) , thats about 8B at current prices. so watch that one very closely... some FUBAR news or some scandal if not earnings or financial relatel trouble. but I am especially interested in EBAY, that is going under in my opinion.
