calculating a base stock repurchase amount associated with at least one
trading period included within the fiscal period portion; calculating a
base stock repurchase price associated with the stock of the firm; and
constructing a stock repurchase model for generating an amount of stock
to repurchase during the fiscal period portion based on the calculated
