"Here you have it in black and white, and still you are arguing against it. Unbelievable." You apparently have problems with plain logic. If some outdated accounting practice does not require to show the buybacks as expense, it does not mean that Intel makes that money out of vaccuum. It is real money that come from actual sales, and they are spent on labor compensation. If you spend more than you earn, you have losses. Which part of this simple common-sense checkbook balance you refuse to understand? Also, where did you learn to quote out of context? Why don't you quote the following sentence: "Thus, companies that count on options to recruit and keep employees are understating labor costs and overstating earnings." Which part of the word "overstating" you do not understand? When you "overstate" your "earning" into positive territory when the actual earnings are a huge loss, and the loss is sustained for more than several quarters, how should shareholders call this process, what do you think? - Ali
