>> SE has declined a bit primarily because INTC spent more on stock repurchases/retirements this year than it made in earnings. I think you're referring to the point that Ork made: "their shareholders equity actually went down during the year." re >> retired approximately 1.5 billion shares at a cost of $26 billion We'll just have to accept the management's judgement that repurchase at 17/share is better than buying treasuries at 3%. By the way, are you now the proud owner of extra Intel shares from those 17.50 puts ?
