Go ***** a camel. Microsoft had a dividend payout of $57 billion.
If they’d invested it in state bonds it would have thrown off free cash flow of over $1 billion a year, without touching principal or jeopardizing cash flow from continuing operations.

sorry, not following your point.

Why would Microsoft invest in Bonds - maybe like the City of Detroit?? Microsoft is not a Fund manager.

Cheap labor enhances Corp. profitability. If you own Microsoft stock that is what you would like as the value of your Microsoft stock would rise and you could potentially get Rich $$$.
