Green Packet / Why Buybacks Fail

I should really consider writing as a team with Moola. He has provided a glaring example of why buybacks fail in Green Packet. It is relevant as it is current. One additional thought, I wonder if any of the company's substantial shareholders were SELLING during the period Green Packet is buying back shares.

From Moola:

Here is one GLARING "LIVE" example.

Green Packet.

1. Dec 26th. 2007 Notice of Shares Buy Back - Immediate Announcement

Lowest price paid 2.38. Highest price paid 2.50.

2. Dec 27th. 2007 Notice of Shares Buy Back - Immediate Announcement

Lowest price paid 2.43. Highest price paid 2.53

3. Dec 28th. 2007 Notice of Shares Buy Back - Immediate Announcement

Lowest price paid 2.54. Highest price paid 2.80.

4. Jan 2nd 2008. Notice of Shares Buy Back - Immediate Announcement

Lowest price paid 2.80. Highest price paid 2.93.

So, from Dec 26th 2007 to Jan 2nd 2008, Green Packet's share buybacks saw it paid a lowest price of 2.38 and a highest price of 2.93!

Consider the points Dali made and do put that into perspective of Green Packet's current share buybacks.
