of couse all these companies who fared thru this big recession with out having debt and without declaring bankruptcy (thus rendering the shareholders value as ZERO), could have paid all the retained cash out in divdends and been a victim to the effects of a major downturn.

Of course all you could ahve predicted that in 1999 and asked that they pay dividends then.

I do not think it is bad thing for them to retain cash to make major moves. 200 Million into Reliance? which will open a new market? oh, no pay it to the shreholder and then ask them to buy some mroe shares to fund a move like that...how about taking out a $200M laon so that they could do it, after paying out all retained cash to the shareholders?

I would favor something like a penny dividend per share per year, but not anything which depletes free cash in the corporation.
