Re: Pure and simple, at this point in time there are too many shares available and not enough investor demand. It is NOT pure and simple as you seem to think. Doing a reverse split would NOT make anyone want to buy AMAT who is not considering it as an investment now. Why you hold onto this belief is beyond me.

RE: "Why do they feel the need to buy back shares at higher than market prices?" Try to follow the facts, at least. They don't buy at "higher than market prices", they buy at the market. They affect the market price when they buy. RE: "...there are too many shares available and not enough investor demand." I, probably, can teach an 8th grader the difference between market capitalization and total shares outstanding. I guess, there is still hope for you, but that hope is fading. You persist in repeating what is very obviously a misconception on your part.
