is there any publicly traded co. out there that hasn't done this .. highly .. highly doubtful

right .. so when for example expo's mgmt publicly announced shares bought back and then retired it would be reflected in the OS given by the TA when that paperwork was done
that process as evidenced by the time line given in previous posts .. took over 6 months in one instance
the last one i remember was the cert for less that 3M shares (bought back and subsequently ret'd) that was pr'd in fall 2009 and discussed at length during the SM on 12/2/2009
my only point <since the co.s TA doesn't give out float/free trading or restricted share info> is that the only way anyone can even have any *clue* is by contacting the TA and keeping a record of the daily OS .. it's very clear since AS was first increased by mgmt on 3/16/2010 .. that the OS would be changing and it was worth <at least to me> to make the effort each and every day to know when certs were cut
what matters to me now .. is who *some* of those certs went to .. i have zero doubts locals who know the co. best will show as beneficial on the forms .. when filed
i'm also really curious to see what kendrick shows in total too
