[EDIT] re: "...With no stated number I have to believe they are buying back the majority of the OS..."

...really?

what about this little tidbit in the PR?

"...in accordance to the action by the Board of Directors announced in December of 2005..."

and what does it state in that dec PR?

"...up to one billion of the company's stock over the next two years..."

---------------

what was that about "no stated number"?

---------------

how does that work again?
dilute 3B..."buyback" 100M
dilute 6B..."buyback" 200M
etc

yeah...thats the ticket

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BKMP! ;)

-----------------

[EDIT] vulcan...i dont think even 500M...i believe the PR states that whatever amount of shares they intend on buying [which could be 200M for all we know], that the majority of that figure will be purchased over "the next few weeks"
[keeping in mind that they never stated they are buying 1B...but rather UP TO 1B...a common "trick" with these "gems"]

...even so, if it is 500M...that a drop in the dilution bucket
