That 30B sitting in the coffers of MSFT was either in cash or had to be liquified in order to be distributed, no. And IF liquified from stock market investments, then that impact is long ago absorbed by the market and now it gets a chance to be recirculated into the markets, seems like a win win to me. Maybe some of this unusual brisk November business I am experiencing is a result of this dividend dispersal, I'll start to ask the question!
