Yes...I remember Brian talking of a lack of dividends given by the company in past years. His way of ``getting dividends`` was to sell into news...for which he took some heat from other agora members.

I can see giving some initial dividends...I just don`t see how it can continue if we are looking for a higher and stable SP. All of Fugitsu was spent on Dividend and Casio may end up going to Fish. Easy to see that price cannot hold if there is nothing more coming from these licensees and no added money in the bank. Even share buyback in conjuction with a dividend disbursement would seemingly take years and years to add much value to retail shareholders. Brian should be able to and should post his thoughts with regard to the direction of the company. Maybe he could sway some opinion for this model. Someone needs to imo. Interesting that Hawk knew of no advis. bd. meetings or involvement by Brian when I asked them directly last week.joe
