Answer 2

A company, if it deems that a good use of its available cash is best spent on a stock buy back (as one way to reward shareholders by reducing the available shares), will often announce such an intention via a PR or through the quarterly conference call. This is often seen as a good sign, as it indicates that a co. views its share price as a bargain. The co. will most likely be looking for the best price per share and will buy back in blocks, so as not to inflate the price per share with one huge buy order. Therefore, it's probable you will not be privy to exactly when the co. is buying back the shares.

You have to call the companies Investor's Relations department and ask.
You can also check up their Stockholder's Equity section and see if the Tressury Stock is going up. First one is more faster if you suspect they are doing it.
