stubba: Let us go with your analysis. Dell bought 1B ahares at $12.50/shr. Got paid by management $1. In turn mgmt. sold these at average $50. What is not distributed is kept in treasury for future disbursement to mgmt.

So mgmt. made $49B. Dell paid $11.5B out of that from earnings or derivative profits and the latecomers like me paid the rest of the $37.5B.
In the meanwhile SE went down up from $2.3B in 1999 to $4.6B.
So we distributed the real profits $2.3B($1 per share) to stockholders and $49B to mgmt.
Do you call this equitable?
I am sure the above figures are slightly exaxerated, but not too far from truth.
I am willing to stand corrected if you can give me better figures.
