Sorry, John, but you are way out of line. Your questions were in fact replete with misunderstandings, and I think that JBN3 was kind enough to take the time to explain some problems. But here are some specific misunderstandings that you have: 1. Stock splits are dilutive. They are not. they are simply an accounting convenience. Dilution due to stock splits is akin to thinking you are poorer because you trade a ten dollar bill for two fives. 2. What would happen if Dell paid a dividend? Dell does pay a dividend. It is in the form of a tax advantaged share repurchase which allows you to convert ordinary income to capital gains, thereby defering taxes, and when taxes are finally paid they rate will be lower. 3. Asking about a concern for high P/Es invites the kind of response you got. If you are interested in learning more try to be specific. Sorry to jump all over you, but it seems to me that JBN3 has gone out of his way to try to help you out. TTFN, CTC
