Launching a product and it failing is better than no product at all, something something Edison learnt 10,000 ways not to make a light build.

the real reason google is up lol

The company’s new financial chief, Ruth Porat, hinted on Thursday that Google, which has never repurchased stock or paid a dividend, might distribute some of its cash to shareholders. She suggested Google could issue debt to finance the program, or for acquisitions and other investments.

Has microsoft paid 80 billion in dividends yet?

Also why do companies sitting on piles of cash borrow money to pay dividends -- are bond markets that ridiculous?

with interest rates this low, you can't afford not to borrow money!!!

google is being reined in by shareholders and is reducing their google x PR spending to give dividends except their core business is fundamentally deteriorating unlike apple. youtube ads should be increasing CPCs cause its the most "destination site" that google has and should be able to attract brand advertising but they dont cause its garbage and people go to youtube when they're linked to it lol (google says the average viewing session is 40 mins but i bet u thats ppl listening to music on it)

and yea interest rates are low and its cheaper than paying taxes on repatriating cash

they can't use overseas money to pay dividends or do buybacks without paying taxes on importing it first. but they can borrow very cheaply in Europe and Japan. now here is the brilliant part: once they start paying any real dividend that is higher than the bond rates, it becomes more cost effective to actually borrow money and buy back the stock than to pay the dividend on it. so basically they're using the lovely European market conditions as leverage to trim their shares at cut-rate prices. America wins again!

bond markets are that ridiculous. having central bank rates under 0% for 5+ years distorts markets just a little bit

google's last bond issue had a 3.375% interest rate on a ten year bond
