I don't think Fred or any of the other directors and officers are counting on the dividend to fill the X-mas stocking.

It has a lot more to do with managing cash on hand and it does send a signal that things are ok - we're in good shape and don't need to be hoarding cash. It totals out at $35Mil which is small potatoes compared to the $1.5Bil in cash on the books at the end of August. Looking at the last 10Q filing, cash on hand grew by $34Mil in the 4th qtr in spite of an $.11 dividend.
