>>They want to get a high price. INTC also wants them to get a high price as this is part of the employment package necessary to keep top people. So, insiders sell shares & company buys them back. Insiders depress the market & the company props it back up.<< While this may be true of some of the so-called growth companies which use their stock options as a currency; it can be hardly said of Intel. Their benefits besides stock options are really good and they try to keep it that way. I don't think they try to exchange other benefits for more stock options if that is what you are attempting to say; let's sort out wheat from chaff like AOL and not mix the two, shall we ;-) Buying back sharesis better than paying dividends for a company like INTC because dividends get taxed twice, whereas a buy back can add more value to the share holders.
