McNealy makes some good points about MSFT here, although I think some of his suggestions are extreme. One answer that has some universality and I find particularly appropriate for this thread is "A: My dad [a long-time American Motors executive] told me something a long time ago. He said CEOs have only three things they can do with cash. They can give it back to investors as a dividend if they have no more good ideas to pursue. They can invest it in great ideas, like you're supposed to do. Or they can invest it in other companies that have great ideas, and be like Warren Buffett.." VD
