But they don't *have* to buy any stock back. MIDL said so, and he's the
expert. Ask him.
Of course, he's somewhat correct. They *don't* have to buy any back.
Unless they want to try keeping it from sinking low enough to cause
mass evacuation by investors, that is. Then they have to get *somebody*
to buy it.
