I agree but expect we will see this thing really move this year. The company has been doing this quarter after quarter:

Shares Outstanding

The Company’s average number of shares outstanding, assuming dilution, was 273.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 292.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Shares outstanding totaled 270.2 million at December 31, 2012. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company repurchased approximately 4.9 million shares at a cost of $100.1 million.

I think we could see this much higher than the $40s if the repurchase continues as it is. If they can buy back another 20 million this year it really should start to move.... especially if their earnings continue.
