Re: Wow...that's stock support. Imagine just how cheap they bought some of those shares...

From the announcement:

In the fourth quarter, the company repurchased a total of 16.5 million shares of common stock at a cost of $1.5 billion. For the full year, the company repurchased 80.9 million shares at a cost of $6.7 billion. Since the program began in 1990, the company has repurchased 294.3 million shares at a total cost of $13.6 billion.

So, Q4 average buy-back price = $90.90, 1998 average buy-back price = $82.81, and historical buy-back price = $46.21.
