DIVIDENDS DO MATTER. THEY HAVE ACCOUNTED for more than 40% of the annual returns of the Standard & Poor's 500 since 1926, and more than 100% of the returns over the past 10 years -- the lost decade, during which the index declined.
Despite this, many financially strong companies don't pay a dividend. Among them: Apple, Google, Cisco Systems, Amgen, eBay, Dell and DirecTV. It's time for them to consider a change. Many simply are hoarding cash that properly belongs to shareholders.
Apple (ticker: AAPL) sits on almost $40 billion and has no debt. Google (GOOG) has $24.5 billion and no debt. Cisco (CSCO) has $25.1 billion of net cash.
