					<description><![CDATA[Thanks Mike.  I agree----but most of that growth came BEFORE Apple paid out any dividend at all or when it was very tiny.  And post dividend, the stock hasn&#039;t done well at all.  I believe most investors bought Apple for growth and if that growth isn&#039;t there, the price will continue to dive.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s not an either/or. We&#039;ve been Apple shareholders since it was in double digits, and we&#039;ve done a lot better from appreciation than we would have from dividends--even though we didn&#039;t sell at 700, alas. 

I&#039;d love to know how much Tim Cook and team think they need in their growth fund, and how much they feel they can afford to distribute in dividends. Don&#039;t forget that distributing dividends can actually boost the stock value.]]></description>
