Very nice! My most daring and best investment to date. Back then, everyone here thought I was crazy.

Given the favorable P/E ratio and the good cash flows, this makes sense - precisely because no more growth is expected from the business, this is a good alternative to increase shareholder value. However, the debt must also be reduced.
