I can't figure out how to respond to comments about my postings;
so best I can do is try to respond in a new posting:

my original posted was that:

SRS Labs has announced that they will commence a stock buyback,
in which SRS may acquire up to $10 million of its outstanding common stock,
commencing November 12, 2007 and continue for a six month period.

which would seem to be about 10% of their shares outstanding

VikingWarrior responded to my posting commenting about SRSL that:

the stock buyback involves "Cashing Out"
Insider selling - All "sold", no "buy"
& thsre is a list of Form 144 (pre-planned) sales,etc.

I can not find any substantiation for VikingWarrior's comment;
the official government SEC website has no such Form 144
listed as being filed in the last year or so

insider trades listed are:
June 7 2007 David R. Dukes exercised 11,000 options at $5.44 resold at $14.96
May 18, 2007 Winston E. Hickman exercised 12,500 options at $4.60 resold at $13.39

the $10 Million stock buyback would amount to more then 1,700,000 share at today's closing price ($5.82)
no where's near the amount of options routinely cashed in by management

finance.Yahoo.com reports a:
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 14.61
Forward P/E (fye 31-Dec-08) 1: 10.46
which substantiates earnings are improving quite nicely

I find no SEC filings which would substantiate VikingWarrior's comment

Don Quixote - Still Tilting at Wind Mills?

I found the insider sales Data at the MSN moneycentral web site by clicking on "Insider
transactions" - {pre-planned sale are SEC "4"
filings, I believe.)
You look to the past through a rear-ward
mirror - my view was what insiders will do in the future with $10 million "up for grabs".
Most buybacks are done strategically over long in-determinant time periods - these guys are going to do it in a very short time period - maybe pushing the stock up quick - THAT would cost the Corporate Treasury MORE ( and that's NOT a good thing )
My main point is that it's a Micro_Cap - there aren't enough shares out there for all your readers to get a piece of in the REAL World of Stocks - without bidding Up and paying through the nose for their "Ration"
The other point I made was that there are many more, better fish in the Sea. Opportunity is like a BUS - miss one and another will be along in a minute or so. I MISS this One. OK.

November 13, 2007 reply by donquixote:

pre-planned sale SEC "4" filings at MSN are from June 2007
I see no such recent sell filings,
neither at MSN nor the SEC itself,
only current intention to re-purchase $10Million of stock,
exponentially more buying then any prior SEC 4 sale filings

"what insiders will do in the future
with $10 million "up for grabs".

well, quite obviously they will buy back their shares

with Qtrly Earnings Growth (yoy): 38.70%
with the company having a profit margin of over 30%
they have built up over $38,000,000 in cash
in a company with a market cap of $97M

with insiders and capital people
owning the majority of available stock,

quite obvously they will buy back
a large portion of the public shares

over the next six months as disclosed to the SEC

"Most buybacks are done strategically over long in-determinant time periods
- these guys are going to do it in a very short time period
- maybe pushing the stock up quick "

exactly why I'm posting this publicly disclosed insight,
there just might be some upside price potential
