I do not watch reality TV. Honestly. Not even American Idol, America’s Top Model or The Dog Whisperer. But because so many other people do, I hear conversations about these shows all the time. One of them, Hoarders, really caught my attention.

No, I am not a hoarder (because owning more than 10 pairs of black heels does not make me a hoarder, it makes me fashionable). But US companies are definitely hoarders. That’s right Corporate America, I am pointing the finger at you and saying: “You are a hoarder, and you need an intervention!”

Now, I am not being judgmental – the facts are the facts: the Federal Reserve’s “Flow of Funds” report says U.S. non-financial companies are sitting on roughly $2 trillion in cash and other liquid assets. Cash accounted for 7.4% of the companies' total assets – the largest share since 1959.
