Bob, OT *** The Dirty Little Secret About Buybacks All those share repurchases are doing investors little good. Here's why Reading Intel Corp.'s () latest annual report, you might think the chipmaker has returned huge sums of cash to its shareholders through stock buybacks. Since 1990, the report boasts, the company has repurchased from shareholders "2.2 billion shares at a cost of approximately $42 billion."

There's just one problem: Intel had as many shares, split-adjusted, at the end of 2004 as it did in 1990.[snip] businessweek.com
