The four horsemen of technology have surged over the last few years and provided great wealth for their founders and investors. And their dominance of their respective markets continues to this day. There’s no denying that Facebook (FB ), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX) and Google (Alphabet) (GOOG) were and still are great investments.
That is unless you’re looking for dividends. Despite being the biggest names in tech, the FANGs are incredibly stingy with their cash. The hope is that one or more start handing it over.
