12 Attractive Companies That Also Pay a Dividend [View article]
I thought NOK just "suspended" their dividend.
Now that cutting dividends is de rigeur, even companies that don't need to cut them will jump on the bandwagon and take cover in the fact that others are cutting. Executives want all the available cash to buy back shares, so that their options can come back into the money. Paying dividends to the owners (i.e. the shareholders) is too old-fashioned, as it reduces the executives' loot, disguised as options.
