Sr. K: You are right. Notice how the real SE has decreased from $5.6B to $4.8B in 3 quarters even though the so called retained earnings were $2.8B. What happened to the rest of $3.6B. If that is what is spent on buying stock and covering stock for option exercises, that is shareholders money after taxes. In addition management made out atleast another $1.8B in the difference between exercise price and current stock price (not counting that they sold at prices higher than current stock price). That is more than what the entire stockholders net worth on liquidation )if you get 100% of the value on sale). Again I don't see anything illegal that management did. It is just not the fairest deal for stockholders. At a minimum they should make these transactions transparent to the public. May be I am missing some info. here. I would love to be corrected, if I am wrong.

Warning signals. Dell's cash machine starting to slow Company, a leader in generating cash, expects a falloff; growth, stock price could be affected. (link subject to change) austin360.com By John Pletz AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Saturday, May 4, 2002 Dell didn't provide estimates of how much its cash supply might dwindle, but there's certainly no short-term danger for the company. Dell will continue to generate a substantial amount of cash from its operations -- it just won't be able to increase its cash supply as fast. TP
