It would seem to me that most companies should routinely buy their own shares when they are trading at a steep discount to inherent value and that they should be issuing shares whenever their stock is over priced. Problem is, most of the time companies appear to do just the opposite.
Easier said than done. Usually they don't have the extra cash when they are trading at a steep discount. Whatever caused the discount is sucking up the cash.
