Jason Raznick	First, to be added to today’s Insider Purchases & Top Buybacks is Autonation (AN). Autonation’s Board of Directors has just authorized an additional $250 million for the repurchase of its common stock which is approximately 7.3% of the outstanding shares. Autonation has purchased $488.4 million of the $500 million share repurchase program authorized earlier this year. Many companies authorize the purchase of shares, but take years to complete them. Autonation nearly completed its entire buyback program in five months. I would expect this $250 million to be put to use in the same quick fashion the previous buyback took place. <a href="http://find.thestreet.com/cgi-bin/texis/rmfind/results.html?qt=jason+raznick&x=0&y=0">Real Money</a>	Love	October 26, 2007
