Intel spent $1 billion to repurchase just 14.3mm shares. That's $70/share. The short puts are gonna come back and bite a lot of these companies.

These numbers are pretty good.......Financial Review Average selling prices of microprocessors in the third quarter were approximately flat with the second quarter. Gross margin percentage in the third quarter was 64 percent, higher than revised expectations of 62 percent plus or minus a point, primarily due to lower than expected material costs and timing of start-up costs for 0.18-micron fabs. Expenses (R&D, excluding in-process R&D, plus MG&A) in the third quarter were up 5 percent from the second quarter, lower than previous expectations of up 7 to 9 percent because of lower merchandising expenses and tighter control in discretionary spending areas. Gains on investments and interest and other were $966 million in the third quarter, higher than revised expectations of $900 million, due to higher than expected realized gains on equity investments. ** The effective tax rate was approximately 31.8 percent in the third quarter, excluding the impact of acquisition-related costs.
