5 Best Integrated Utility Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Over the past couple of months investors have been calling for increased returns of capital from Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) .

We want more!
It would appear that perhaps investors were hoping for more of a direct dividend boost as opposed to the overwhelming emphasis on repurchases. The aggregate amount of capital being returned more than doubled, from $45 billion to $100 billion, but most of that increase was being plunged into the repurchase authorization.
