Christmas in July
By Paul J. Lim
Santa Claus has a new name, and it's Bill Gates.
Yesterday, the company Gates cofounded, Microsoft, announced the biggest special one-time dividend in the history of corporate America. The software giant, which dominates an industry not known for dividends, says it will give shareholders $3 back per share as a special payout. "It's the biggest dividend ever," says Howard Silverblatt, equity market analyst for Standard & Poor's and an expert on corporate dividend policies. "It's beyond big—it's enormous."
All told, the dividend will amount to $32 billion in wealth that the company is transferring back to shareholders and injecting into the economy, just in time for Christmas.

Govt to block reopening of Christmas Island casino. 20/07/2004. ABC News Online
A decision to block a casino on Christmas Island is being described as a fatal blow to the future of the Indian Ocean territory.
The Federal Government is set to legislate against the re-opening of the casino which closed in 1998 due to financial difficulties, halving the island's population.
Christmas Island lies more than 1,500 kilometres off the Western Australian coast and Federal Labor MP Warren Snowdon says its chance for economic prosperity is even more remote if the Government blocks a casino on it.
"It's just a further demonstration of the disdain and arrogance with which this Government has been treating the people of Christmas Island," he said.
