re: Is a company buying back its stock not insider trading?

I would say that there would be more insider trading complications with the issuance of stock than with buybacks.
Small scale buybacks are almost never an issue. If it's a large scale buyback and the company has one or two large shareholders (>20%), I would say that it would be an issue, as those shareholders would be receiving a large benefit from "insider trading". If the ownership is sufficiently diluted, it is just the company returning capital to shareholders.
