I always wonder why people are concerned about EPS rising because of the reduction in shares outstanding. Some people would rather have the money returned to them as a taxable dividend so they can help retire the National Debt sooner. Others are smart and might just sell 4% of their IBM position to get a 4% dividend, but then they get stuck paying a lower tax rate and keep more of the "dividend" which doesn't help with the National Debt. Kirk out ;)
