A 'share buy back' is the main option in which a company can reduce the amount of outstanding shares. A company will purchase shares on the open market or work out a deal to buy shares from individual holders, and then retire the shares.

What does the EPS tell an investor?
EPS means Earnings per Share. It is the company's earnings for a certain period--usually a quarter or a year--divided by shares outstanding. It could tell me a lot of things. Wall Street investors feel that there is a certain range in which a stock's earnings per share should be. If the EPS drops below that range, the company needs to do something to improve it, and there are two basic ways to do that: increase earnings or decrease the number of shares outstanding through a stock buyback or a reverse stock split. Increasing earnings is, of course, much better--decreasing the shares outstanding is a bandaid...one that's soaked in blood and has half the glue missing. EPS that's too high is bad too. That means either you're not putting enough money back into the company (when I worked for Home Depot, our stock took a serious hit because our EPS was too high; the analysts said our biggest problem was we had very outdated computers and it was slowing us down, and we should buy a lot of new automation to make the employees' jobs easier.) or you don't have enough stock outstanding and should do a stock split or another issue.
What is a way to buy shares off a public company?
In the UK from time to time, public limited companies issue shares which the public can subscribe to, direct to the Company rather than buying them through a Stock Exchange. This will happen when the company launches perhaps or if the Company needs to raise money quickly and is not sure that the shareholders will subscribe to them all. The other ways a company issues shares are through a rights or scrip issue but one has to have some shares already in that company first to either subscribe to them or receive them.

Definition of naked short selling?
Naked shorting is the process of selling securities short without the intention of borrowing them from a brokerage house. In theory a short seller should first borrow the shares, but in practice the sellers frequently sell first and than cover within 13 days without borrowing and any consequences. If this is done by broker/dealers they have ways of not covering it at all for very long periods. In effect, such sellers increase the share float by creating additional shares. There is a story of an investor who purchased all the outstanding shares of a small company, only to see later on millions of shares trade on an exchange anyway.
