Who, or what, are they going to buy with their $250 billion?
Post any and all possibilities. I've already seen mentions of Tesla and Disney but I don't see how those could work. I know Apple did some self-driving car tests so the Tesla thing may be a wet dream of a few people inside Apple. Disney though? It would have to chew up their entire cash reserves for what, Star Wars and shitty ESPN?
I think I could see Apple buying ARM.

>He would never sell
it's publicly traded, if Apple wants it they can buy it
Apple will do a stock buyback instead though with most of that money.
You retards realize it's not cold hard cash right?
In fact most of it is overseas and they can't bring it into the US because they have a chronic problem of tax evasion (which they literally owe billions of btw) and piling up debt.
They owe $14.5 billion to lucky charms alone.

Pretty much this. Apple gambles that there will always be children, homosexuals, and generally mentally retarded people out there.

you understand that this is common with American corporations, and that Trump and the Republicans want to give big business a tax break to bring money back to the states.

Oh horror, they only have $150 billion. Theyre just waiting for Trump to cut taxes so they can repatriate it.
>>60182276
Apple already have significant influence over Disney (lookup the composition of the boards and history of Pixar), they don't need to buy them.

American corporations would have repatriated their money a long time ago if retards in the Beltway wouldn't promise a once in a lifetime tax holiday every 10 years

Maybe but apple actually went as far as to commit a serious crime to rake in as much money as possible. They're literally criminals now.

They owe taxes in many places including the US and all of this is just a ticking time bomb especially with the fact that apple sold less iphones than expected since 2016.
Trump can't and won't cut taxes. He's a retarded faggot that makes exaggerated claims and can't deliver.

Luca Maestri, Apple CFO:
Basically our cash strategy is to return 100% our free cash flow to investors (i.e. return all the cash we don't need to run business)

Apple's board increased share buyback authorization by $50B.
