janice: I'm having trouble getting a response from the longs to this question, but I'm still trying. Would you mind giving it a shot also?
Where did the $$ come from to effect a 20 billion share buyback, in addition to the normal drilling operations and car races, etc? Even at .0001/share, that's millions of dollars of cold hard cash. I'm sure I'll be labeled a basher and co-conspirator, but that's the breaks. I'll try to keep my composure when the hate mail hits the fan. tia
