    They vote on issues that raise their annual salary, bonus, and perks and then dole out crap to their shareholders. This monkey men and women need to be returned the jungle from whenst they came.

    I agree. Give them an annual banana quota and turn them loose.

    What would a dividend of 2% be for each shareholder? Not familiar with the process. As employees, we're considered shareholders correct? (I know, bad questions but not familiar with this stuff)

    Well, a dividend is a way of saying that we can't make this money grow enough to put it to use in other ways. Amgen needs to spend this money on research and development of new drugs and expanding the markets for their existing ones. This isn't a bloody utility. You whiners with a ton of this stock have to acknowledge that it is speculative, and dividends would only cut into the potential future returns. If Amgen announces a dividend this speaks badly for their confidence but perhaps this is a dose of humility which is overdue.

    You sound like a board member, not really caring for the individual shareholder. Since Amgen hasn't been a decent share appreciator, the dividend is the ONLY way to go; sort of like an apology for lack of performance over the last ten years. Even with a dividend, it wouldn't make much of a dent in our cash wealth which, by the way, is one of the largest in public corporations. Sorry, it's time to cater to the stockholder. It's well deserved.

    If we get $53.00 a share at the close of the appointed day, it would be $53.00 times 2% = $1.06 a share (yearly), divided by 4 quarters = .265 cents each quarter.

    If employees have Amgen shares, they are indeed shareholders and have the same rights to vote, as do the non-employees.
