It's not a pleasant thought but something I believe should be considered, just like being retired and watching the pot shrink.
The good news is, not long ago it was 100K/mo more. Layoffs, reassingments and other cost controls has slowly dropped it. The firm handling the reexams is a cash and carry situation too, but never saw what that effort was costing us/mo.
The good news, debt free and the last time the company asked via proxy vote to add shares was Sept-2008 of 50 mln.
They have been doing creative financing since 1988...lol.
I hope Canon is a nice bump to extend the current calc of 16.5 months.
