You need to read the PR there partnership is way more than an affiliate the C.E.O. Of a company doesn't mention affiliates but in this PR he does so quit trying to find negative things about this with hopes to hurt the company can't stop what's meant to happen so if u in u in if u out please stay out.
Also, keep in mind that the O/S shares ended just under 4B with a "share reduction" in progress in 3 phases. 1 part in 2010 and the other two parts in 2011 and we are over 8B+. And now another share reduction is occurring which really means nothing as the company can re-issue and sell those "reduced" shares at any time.
