Not the sort of stock that excites these pages but would anyone be willing to educate me on why Boots (for the past 10 days or so) have been buying large quantities of their own shares in order to cancel them.

I see this weeks Shares Mag) that they are one of only a few who have a surplus in their Pension Fund

Looks a fair swing.
