mr. dowd, personally, i think msft management is doing the right thing by not having a major repurchase of their stock becuase of the associated risk. i would like to see some dividend though. i do not see any risk involved in this and it is a reward for being a shareholder. i think that cash is king and msft should hold on to as much as possible. it is obvious that "wall street" does not agree with me because they are greedy. they need a repurchase or dividend play to help them sell the stock. if i were a shareholder i would surely want a chunk of that $50 billion passed onto me. i cannot think of one reason why msft would not issue a dividend can you? $50 billion can purchase some lovely countries never mind companies. as you know, msft cannot use the cash freely to purchase their way to profitability because they are a monopoly. so why not a dividend. rocky.
