Dan, What happened to the the $5 Billion in earnings they reported in those 9 months? $4 billion went to share buyback (which has a tendency to just leak out of the balance sheet, without leaving any trace on P/L). Anyway, the $billion bought 73.5 million shares at average price of $53.33. With current closing price of $30 1/2, the $billion expenditure would be worth $2.28 billion, or $1.71 billion less than the purchase price. I hope that the Intel employees who received these shares sold them right away. Joe

Dan3, <Thank You, Goutama, that was a great post! You are welcome. <Is the $7.5 Billion drop in unrealized gains included in the marketable equities number?> Yes. Marketable securities number is also adjusted for the realized gains. <What happened to the the $5 Billion in earnings they reported in those 9 months?> (Capital expenditure + Stock buy back + \| decrease in the unrealized gains\| ) - [ Earnings(operational + investment gains + interest) after tax + Depreciation + Employees stock purchase proceeds & tax benefits + unrealized gains ] ~= $5.7 Billion in Y2K Goutama
