By TIMOTHY J. McINTOSH; MBA, MPH, CFP®, CMP™ [Hon]
The financial sector is a somewhat broad sector, although many of the industries within the sectors tend to move together.

I HATE DIVIDENDS
William Lazonick, an emeritus economics professor at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, has been one of the leading critics of companies that distribute cash to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends rather than reinvesting the profits into employees, innovation and production.
For companies that are continuing to do buybacks and issue dividends during the crisis, he said, it is business as usual. The lion’s share of dividends goes to higher-income Americans, according to data from the Internal Revenue Service: about 69 percent of all dividends goes to taxpayers with incomes in excess of $200,000.

REACHING FOR YIELD
One of the most common complaints from investors today is the lack of yield available in the financial markets. The S&P 500 is paying just 1.2%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond is around 1.3%.
Diversified high yield equities might net 3%. It’s difficult to find much above 4% coming from junk bonds. Beyond that, investors would need to reach far out on the risk spectrum where the potential downside risk might not justify those few extra basis points of yield.
