Stock traded 20 mil shares today. How much can they be buying to make a difference?

Alex,

"Since initiation of the program, Intel has repurchased 235.4 million shares."

Here is the Intel press release:

The real significance of a stock repurchase is that the stocks are removed from circulation, thereby decreasing the supply (and increasing the value) of the remaining stock. This has a very different effect than the volume of stock trading hands every day.
