MeDroogies,

Assuming HP has a similar situation (I don't know if they do...that's why I'm saying it's just a thought), wouldn't it make sense to keep the cash in a high yield account and borrow at ridiculously low rates to pay the dividends?

Just a thought, as I said it may be nowhere near the reality.


Sounds reasonable. Certainly the rate they're paying on the bonds is extremely low.
