GV perhaps you can explain this...

in his latest letter Fred Hickey points out that Dell made $17.2 billion after tax net over the last ten years, but has only one-third ($5.6 billion) left on the balance sheet. what happened to the rest of the money Dell "made".

also book value in latest Q fell to $5.6 billion or 2.24 per share, from $6.1 billion or 2.35 per share a year earlier, despite "record" earnings.

what is with the disconnect between supposed earnings and retained value over such a long time period (10 yrs, and 1yr), at a company that pays no dividends?
