From, “In Search of Yield,” by Andrew Bary, 1/23/12, Barron’s:
MANY EXECUTIVES are understandably cautious about paying big dividends after the searing experience of 2008 and 2009, when a quarter of the companies in the S&P 500 were forced to cut payouts. Yet managements may be making a mistake now in favoring share buybacks. Even with the problem posed by the repatriation of foreign income, companies generally have plenty of U.S. profits to pay nice dividends.
Repatriation: The act of restoring or returning to country of origin
