not paying dividends. Supposedly there's a law about that, too (keeping more cash than is reasonably needed).

Scott Herhold of the SJ Merc wrote an article on the lack of MS dividends recently.

You know, what I'd like to see is real enforcement of existing laws (e.g. anti-trust, not keeping more cash than reasonably necessary, fraud (e.g. Enron, investment bankers (who did get fined $100 million), and so on) than to hear the Congress critters pontificate about Enron and pass some more laws that don't help at all -- especially if they're not enforced.

And why in the world does the investigation take 2.5 years?
