Ali, Re: "The stock buy-backs are expenses, the money are wasted." If that's the crux of your argument, then you are mistaken. Stock buyback goes towards employee stock bonuses, a necessary compensation if you want continued positive results from your work force. Re: "The thing which pisses me off is when presumably intelligent persons keep repeating the obvious nonsense about Intel making money." Ok, let's say by your definition, Intel isn't making money. However, their revenue minus yearly expenses is still a positive number, which is what reassures investors to keep their holdings in that stock - and this also goes for most other tech companies out there that aren't "making money" by your standards. Why should it be any different for Intel? wbmw
