I hope Oracle and other tech companies do not pay a dividend. It is easier to look at a balance sheet and see what money companies have produced for shareholders when part of it hasn't already been returned in dividends. I guess I see what you mean. You certainly disregarded money already returned to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases in posting #17742, in which you claimed ORCL has only returned 9% on invested capital over the past ten years. If management thinks share repurchases are a good investment, they might as well pay a dividend, except for the difference in tax treatment.
