  • What Mark Penn Will Do For Microsoft [View article]
    Agreed. Vanity Fair had some very unflattering things to say about Ballmer and MS (http://vnty.fr/Oh5HCj). It seems like any new innovation that gains traction in the marketplace (e.g. Xbox) succeeds in spite of a very stifling corporate culture. More focus on 'doing' and less focus on trying to be what they're not (e.g .cool like Apple) would seem to serve them well.

    Wishful thinking, but with Google's growth rate and broad ambitions what's the incentive to initiate one?

  • How To Build Wealth With Dividend Paying Stocks [View article]
    A 75% payout ratio seems pretty aggressive. I assume that applies more to low-growth companies?
