here is a general question.

what is cymi's float?

if cymi buys back $50 million or about 3 million shares, won't the expected decrease in earnings of 10-15% be offset buy the reduction in float?

if cymi makes 15-20 cents next quarter before taking 3 million shares off the market, won't the real earnings be higher?

please help me, i don't understand these numbers.
