Graphic_arrow1 Via Short Stock Ideas from Seeking Alpha:  

I thought it would be interesting to check on the progress of Amazon's (AMZN) (frequently hyped) Stock Repurchase Program(s).

In August 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a 24-month program to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of Amazon common stock from which they repurchased 8.2 million shares for $252 million in 2006 and 6.3 million shares for $248 million in Q1 2007.
