<Over the last year LMT will have paid out roughly 1.73 billion in dividends. Divided by the 2004 shares,
that comes to a $3.86 dividend, not the $5.32 they have paid. Without the buy backs, they would be paying
out another $650 million this year.>

Does that account for "normal" divvy growth they'd have had regardless of divvy growth?

Seems to me that if they could spend X dollars on buybacks and Y dollars on divvies (and divvy growth), that if they didn't spend the "X" dollars, they'd have had all that money to vastly increase the "Y" dollar amount, but I guess we're really splitting hairs since in the end, we're at the mercy of each investment's executive suite and their attitude, intentions and actions wrt shareholders.
