  Microsoft's $40 billion bet
Time: 15:20 EST/20:20 GMT | News Source: CNN | Posted By: Robert Stein

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The numbers at Microsoft are headed in the wrong direction. This is not a fact most investors have focused on, but plenty of the company's executives have. At Microsoft's sprawling Redmond, Wash. complex, the word "slowdown" is being openly discussed, casting a chill over the world's largest software company. Revenue growth has slowed. Margins have narrowed. Until its fiscal 2000, the company had never posted annual operating income gains in the single digits. Now that's happened 2 years in a row.

Soda, you should definitely read this. It answers our question from a few weeks ago--MS has $32 Billion worth of outstanding stock options. It also provides the number of shares. Of course, most of these may never be realized. It's also intense to read the comparisons the author makes between this cash and other companies' cash and/or value--it's astronomical.

IIRC, Microsoft has never awarded dividends. Anyone buying the stock (or anything) should research what they are getting before buying it. It should not be of surprise to any shareholders.

"This is a mind-bogglingly large pile of dough. No other nonfinancial firm has more liquid money at its disposal, and only a handful of banks do. It's more cash than Ford, ExxonMobil and Wal-Mart have combined, and nearly four times as much as Intel, the tech company with the next largest cash balance. It is enough to buy the entire airline industry -- twice. Or all the gold in Fort Knox, four times over. It is enough to buy 23 space shuttles or every major professional baseball, basketball, football and hockey team in America."

Microsoft has *always* stockpiled massive cash, as long as they've had the ability to do so.

It's been Gates' strategy from day one to be able to run Microsoft for an extended period of time with absolutely no income.

The only reason people are finally taking notice to this long held practice is because Microsoft may have to start using that stockpile for its intended purpose - a saftey net.
