So the dollars have in fact gone in the happy circle of life. Speaking of the circle of life, why doesn't Qualcomm pay cash dividends to the shareholders?

<Well, many do and in the end, all of them will be spent> Yes, and hopefully not all in a short period of time.... <So the dollars have in fact gone in the happy circle of life.> Well, the outward 9 is happy... the way back home will be interesting to say the least. <Worrying about a trade deficit is ridiculous. > Oh, I don't worry about anything [very little in any case... and for short periods of time] much. But ignoring it is worse than ridiculous... that implies almost Vaudvillian acting... it's much more tragic than that. Those aware of the problem, however, know it's implications and as things start to unravel and make a fortune if they wish. But worry....? naw. DAK

<Personally, I'd be a bit circumspect about accepting too many of those promises because Americans might decide it's too much trouble to get a real job instead of just hiring Uncle Al to print another few billion dollars. To avoid the hard work of repaying the debt, they could dilute the holders of those dollars by printing a LOT more dollars, which is a time-honoured means to avoid repaying IOUs. > Oh, I see you get it after all.... never mind :) Try not to contradict yourself so much... the whole thread goes around in circles with posts like this. BTW, you're idol disagrees with you: siliconinvestor.com He's also on record many times "worryint" about the trade deficit. dAK
