@bubblesmgee

- its one part 'take the money while you can get it'
- one part 'get us set and we'll buy more on market'
- another part - the stock moves up in part because there's no concern about cash position now
- with a soupcon of 'we needed money to negotiate with the 'monster'

Individual shareholders tend to firm opinions with the idea company shoukd avoid dilution until at the last quarters fund

Directors like to err toward lazy cash piles so they cAn ignore market share price ups and downs when planning spending

And corporate financiers apply condiderable unction to get companies to the deal table when the stock has momentum
