Mark, for some reason your italics is not turning off at the right point. Anyway, I think it is more than "the real world isn't perfect". Even in theory, doubling the shares through a stock sale does not result in a constant stock price. Far from it, for reasons that have already been pointed out.

What the doubling of stock shares does is not really going to affect current share price that much but it does affect future appreciation...

(1) potential rise in share price is less attractive

(2) Option contracts above $30 probably will become zero through jan 2009...

question is why does AMD have to do such a large dilution?

...and have these two manager's (Intel/AMD) ever thought about over capacity?
