Don, although company management seems to feel otherwise the shareholders are supposed to be the owners of the company - and when the shareholders money is spent buying back shares ( at historic high prices) to offset dilution from esops or their equity is diluted via generous option grants I do not feel that this is in the best interest of the shareholders -the owners of the company. In the old days surplus cash was paid out in the form of dividends and the dividend yield would act as a floor for the stock price. ATT - (T) had a 16% dividend yieldat the bottom in 1932. You raise many good issues but I feel the shareholders are being scammed in the long run. In the short run everyone is happy. Mike
