7 Cash Rich Stocks Offering Stingy Dividends

This is a silly statement: about Franklin. You could make the same claim about GM, Bethlehem Steel , etc etc etc. What a company did decades ago is meaningless without some idea about what they plan to do tomorrow. Franklin might be a great company with great management but the NEW economy is changing and to advise putting money in any investment without constant monitoring could be a big mistake. Resources need to be allocated to where they will do the most good.
