Re: "I am not sure if that is an SEC rule or a company regulation that gives them a finite lifetime.Some people fell that a company that buys it's shares in the market lacks better ideas on how to invest that money. Intel is large enough and has enough cash on hand that it can do this forvere. If they ever mature then other companies may become better investments, then it may find it hard to exit from it's Intel investment without making the market fall. Has anyone ever matched the option numbers with the share buyback numbers? Do they try to keep the outstanding at a certain number?" Where's Paul when you need him? He always knows this stuff. EP
