That's all great for shareholder morale but long-term, it's not a benefit to Microsoft. With the amount of cash they have, they need to do something with that to increase growth,

It's a good thing. I view shareholder activism that's designed to increase shareholder value long term as positive.

With revenue growth slowing, Ballmer has tried to squeeze more down to the bottom line to make the company more appealing to investors, ... Even the cuts that seem trivial have dampened morale. Just whisper the word 'towels' to any Microsoft employee, and eyes roll. Last year, Microsoft stopped providing a towel service for workers who used company locker rooms after bike rides or workouts. Employees who helped the company build its huge cash stockpile were furious. And don't even mention stock options. Employees long counted on them to bolster their salaries. Microsoft minted thousands of employee millionaires as the stock climbed 61,000% from its 1986 public offering to its peak in 2001. Now shares are trading exactly were they were seven years ago. Microsoft has doubled its payroll in that time, adding more than 30,000 new employees, not including attrition. That means more than half of Microsoft's employees have received virtually no benefit from their stock holdings.

The increase in our dividend is a direct result of our ability to grow the long-term, sustainable cash flow of the company. Paying a reliable and attractive dividend to our shareholders is one of the most direct and transparent means we have of delivering shareholder value.

We are troubled by the continuing decrease of the value of our investments in the company and are pleased that management and the board of directors are considering steps to stem the loss of shareholder value, ... However, as long-term investors, we want to be assured that the options are being considered to promote growth and stability in the long-term, and not simply to produce a short-term boost in the stock price.

Their lack of investments in systems, continued new store growth by Wal-Mart and higher prices point to short-term cash maximization, not long-term growth,

These actions reflect our confidence in the future operating results and cash flow of the company, as well as our ongoing determination to build long-term shareholder value.

There are a lot of ties here, and there are a lot of relationships, ... To that extent, I think we will benefit from some short-term increase in occupancies, and I do think there will be some more permanent long-term relocations.

While an uncertain market may overshadow the impact of some of our restructuring initiatives in the short-term, the implementation of various operating efficiencies and the selective refocusing of business units will allow us to strengthen our foundation for future growth in addition to maintaining a commitment to building long-term shareholder value,

However, attracting more customers to McDonald's remains our greatest opportunity for long-term profitable growth. Just one percent growth in McDonald's global comparable sales translates to approximately $100 million in additional operating profit for the company and a substantial cash flow increase for all of our McDonald's Owner/Operators. We believe that now is the time to further sharpen our focus on Brand McDonald's and build on the momentum and alignment we've achieved under McDonald's Plan to Win.

If you're a long-term investor, do you really want the same amount of money in Microsoft and (tractor maker) Caterpillar?

We are pleased by the record results we achieved in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Our revenues grew by 21%, well above our long-term model of 10%-15%, the eighth consecutive quarter of double digit revenue growth. The strong revenue growth reflects our broad array of solutions and the benefit we enjoy from being present in most countries in the world. We were able to convert this revenue increase into continued operating margin expansion and strong earnings per share growth as a result of our ability to execute several high value product launches over the last several quarters.

This a cash machine that is sharing the wealth. That's an important catalyst for long-term growth. Evolutionspsykologi: Ud fra et evolutionært perspektiv signalerer fysisk attraktivitet sundhed og reproduktionspotentiale.
