Elmer, RE: Intel continues to have to buy back shares on the open market to keep the dilution from affecting EPS. This is what Ali considers a "loss", this outflow of cash which is in his opinion, employee compensation that should count against the bottom line. They don't count against the bottom line regardless of what Ali thinks should be done. Furthermore, it's a standard accounting practice that would need to be applied to all businesses, to single out Intel is a pretty childish and narrow view. Ali, is once again jousting at windmills and can't figure how to just make money once knowing the rules. When you lose money in the market you don't lobby for rule changes, you need a better investment vehicle or a better driver (stock picker). AMD has had a nice little bounce off it's most recent lows, but I'm just really bad at timing trades therefore I didn't get in, besides I follow a more Warren Buffett style of only buying companies I'd like to own my whole life.
