Given that Intel is using options as part of its compensation package to employees, it makes sense to me to incorporate the cost of these options as a legitimate expense to Intel. It is a fact that issuing stock at below market prices does involve a cost to existing shareholders. I try to quantify that cost.

When Intel (or any company) grants stock options they do so at fair market value. Assuming they are buying back stock at the same time they are buying the same stock at fair market value. Buy it at FMV, grant it at FMV. Looks like a push to me.
