for your particular case, you´d rather see MSFT going for lower dividend increase and higher buybacks, or even sit on more cash for a share price drop/M&A?

I doubt we´re getting a special dividend any time soon Current dividend bill is up to $20 B and coming close to aristocracy (regular and increasing dividend has replaced need for a special) Buybacks increasing ATVI $Activision Blizzard(ATVI)$ $70 B deal coming soon AI cycle may need Capex or acquisitions
