dementedhumor.....If you go read the Sept 23 PR I think you will find the OS was about 5.5bil and Steve the Great CEO also stated that he planed to buy more shares. Also, Steve owned about 2bil of the 5.5Bil. Since then....many here for many, many months thought Steve was still buying and then...the truth came out and the OS was over 7bil then it went to 8bil then 9bil plus. Now it seems to have gone down a little(still over 9bil) but I think its just Steve playing his games and did nothing other than retire some of his personal shares before the next pump and dump. Just like he did in the first buyback.....he didn't buyback crap.....he retired insider shares....called it a successful buyback and then turned around and dumped billions and billions and billions of shares. Other than that he's great....lol
