I would prefer the dividend form about 75% of the companies as opposed to management investing in so called new growth opportunities. Especially in larger companies. Let's face it... most senior management in large companies are incompetent in that area.

The growth mainly comes from smaller companies... larger ones are just typically trying to hand on to what they have acquired (defend their position). If they develop a new opportunity, it is to feed the existing behemoth with cash.
