means you have nothing better to do with the money (no new investments, new tech areas to explore, new patents, acquisitions...) than hand it over to institutions (mutual funds, etc.). I wonder about that. It seems to me the stock, paying a dividend, would be more attractive to institutions. Especially now, in this grinding bear where it appears we trade sideways in fits and starts for a few years until valuation catches up with stock price. Seems to me by giving share holders income you can move the stock into strong hands willing to wait out the bear with some assurance that their investment, despite the "dead money" look of this market, actually generates a return. JMHO. Pierre
