I dont see how pointing to there previous $1.46bil over 6yrs re-purchase of stock when your pointing out they have $3.4bil on hand.
Your saying they have the money but they wont or something else ?
I knew I supplied too much information for you to parse -nothing unusual there.
It should be easy enough to follow. Nvidia used cash on hand to buy back a tranche of shares - This is IMMATERIAL other than the fact it demonstrates that NVIDIA HAS WORKING CAPITAL and made plans for its utilization.
Self explanatory for anyone smarter than a garden vegetable.

Bullshit. How many months on and you still can't grasp a simple concept.
In the event of Nvidia looking for a buyer (AND THEY WERE NOT), Microsoft had first option for 30% of Nvidia's shares- NOT A MAJORITY- 30%. Enough of a stake to trigger a takeover bid or block a takeover bid from another suitor.

All of this is a far cry from your assertion that Microsoft could have bought Nvidia for $3bn

Again, absolute bullshit. Microsoft were never offered the shares last year, and they certainly wouldn't have got Nvidia for 3.4bn if Nvidia have 3.4bn in cash on hand. You keep spewing garbage about non-existant "talks" to try to sound like some authority and justify a nonsensical argument based on you misinterpreting a news article
