"Dividends are old-fashioned. From a tax standpoint, you're much better off if a company re-invests any profits it has or, if it can't find anything worth doing with the money, buying back shares. That way your money keeps compounding tax-free through the magic of capital gains." I agree, VG. My personal slant on dividends by MSFT is would I do a better job managing the $$ than Bill would? Methinks I'm better off if he invests and grows my MSFT investment than I would be if he spun off a few cents per share. Just my take. --Jack
