S&P 500 companies are not investing. This chart proves it
November 19, 2014
Buybacks and dividends now account for 90% of the profits of S&P 500 companies. Or, in other words, big companies are not investing their profits in staff or anything that actually might help the economy. Instead their spare cash goes to shareholders and share buy backs that raise the value of their stocks (a metric that releases to rewards for bosses). Cheers!
