This is episode 146 the night. Andrew and I are going to take a break<br> from doing some interviews with some of the great guests that recently, and<br> we’re going to ask some listener to answer some listener questions tonight. So<br> we’ve got a few fantastic ones that we thought we would go ahead and answer on<br> air for you guys. So I’m going to go ahead and start with the first one. So<br> this one says, dear Andrew, first week, can I thank you for all the help you’ve<br> given me despite being from the UK in England, your podcast is by far the best<br> investing podcast out there. The main question is, how do you check if a<br> company has been buying back shares when they repurchased them and what price<br> they buyback was four. I was at high or low slash a good or bad investment<br> slash and intent to manipulation rather than invest. I know it was a little<br> more complicated than this, but where do you start with that? Also, how would<br> you Google whether the company has had a recent merger, or is that also on a 10<br> K as well? I imagine you are very busy and get lots of questions to come in,<br> but I just wanting to accept a massive thank you for me, and you guys are<br> making my isolation. Very productive. Yours sincerely column Andrew, which I<br> like to go ahead and take a stab at that.<br> <br> <br> <br> Andrew (<a href="https://www.temi.com/editor/t/Rx3yHpmNo54TuSQ-hhYwtRVzz804cPHWvUG_VkcuR9ElrrQ68__n_lySPwYyYxpGnx4zPZ92mjnMNx2mJ_3-1lvsEZo?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=110.11">01:50</a>):<br> <br> <br> <br> Yeah, I love it. Good question. I a lot of the questions<br> that came in lately, first off, thanks for writing in and seconded off; they’re<br> pretty in-depth. So I guess I would not consider this beginner level<br> whatsoever. So if you’re a beginner, this is the first episode you’ve ever<br> listened to, go to our back to the basic series, and get yourself educated on that<br> first. This stuff’s complex, but it’s also very important when it comes to<br> stocks. So let me try to answer these kinds of the line by line. So how do you<br> check if a company has been buying back shares? So one way you could do this<br> and the way I like to do it, I like to check whenever I’m looking at a stock, I<br> use my favorite tool, quick fs.net just to look at the big picture of stock<br> before getting into the [inaudible].<br> <br> <br> <br> Andrew (<a href="https://www.temi.com/editor/t/Rx3yHpmNo54TuSQ-hhYwtRVzz804cPHWvUG_VkcuR9ElrrQ68__n_lySPwYyYxpGnx4zPZ92mjnMNx2mJ_3-1lvsEZo?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=166.72">02:46</a>):<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> So if you go on there, you can look, and you can see the<br> shares outstanding from year to year to year. So if I look, and if I saw in<br> 2019, the stock had 6 million shares outstanding, and then let’s say 2020, they<br> had 550 million, so shares outstanding, dropped by 50 million.
