    "If the company really wants to disappoint shareholders, just keep fanning their fear that they'll never see this cash in the form of dividends or stock buybacks."

    Trust me, stockholders don't give a shit about the .005% dividends—they never had them before and they have only been issued once in history—and it's statements like this that make the WSJ look more and more everyday like a gossip column. The real investors only hope Apple uses their money wisely, not give it back.

    • *correction, offered dividends twice in recent historymonospaced
    • They actually announced last year that they were going to offer dividends and buybacks, $10+ bil a year.zarkonite
    • and that was just about the time they stopped being a growth stock. They know what they're doing, the only reason institutional investors tolerated not seeing a dime is because of the growth of the stock.zarkonite

    • Okay, good. That means the WSJ is even more batshit crazy than I thought.monospaced
