My answer: Although it may not happen on the first news release, I think that the market will do an about face. I believe they will realize the same thing that we all do: the proof is in the ground, waiting to be hit. The SP will immediately recover, and gains will continue to pile. Given that there are fewer shares, this will attract more players. The market changes it tune, seeing that management made a wise decision, and did not do it out of panic.
