Ali, I doubt INTC actually uses purchased shares to exactly offset literal shares handed out to employees. In fact I am not sure repurchased shares are pulled out of float. In any event, giving options at certain strike prices to motivate long-term results is not the same as handing out shares at today's prices or Intel's purchase prices. Go do some more legwork and post links to actual facts before spouting off. Find out how many shares were repurchased, what happens to them in terms of float or treasury shares or what, how many options are out there, how many have been granted, at what strike prices, how many outright grants, etc. It would be nice to see this in chart format btw. Now get on it, ya! As an investor I only care about one thing: increasing shareholder value. If that means putting some carrots out there for important employees to bust their ass to get personally rich so that my shares rise in value so be it. Would you rather have a net 15% return over time or negative like your AMD investment? LOL RO
