insane dividends

[fung_derf]

Interesting viewpoint. What I'm finding (at least with the legit companies) is these companies heavily laden with cash and wanting to get it out to investors (especially the insiders) before Obama claims it as his own.
For instance, COST isn't borrowing money to pay out a dividend.

Costco generated over $1.9 billion
in free cash flow in 2011; and returned over a billion dollars to shareholders in the form of dividends
($389 million) and share repurchases ($624 million).
