The net result was balanced earnings and cash flow generation which enabled us to maintain a strong balance sheet while reinvesting capital in technology and acquisitions, as well as opportunistically returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases." At last check, shares of SCHN were down 46 cents to $48.60, a loss of nearly 1%.
