Intel Corp (INTC)

Sgolds,

Thanks but still my question remains unanswered. If INTC, for example, has a book value of $6.50 per share and someone exercises options to buy at $10, that $10 gets added to Intel's cash position and increases every other individual share's book value (of course by only a tiny amount but you get the picture). The difference between book value and share price is pure blue sky so adding cash value above the book value is a real asset infused, no? So what's more important to the investor, the EPS or the book value?
