It’s a corporation that has to begin to increase asset turnover, either through acquiring more profitable businesses or shedding low profit ones.  It’s already proven its strengths in achieving high profit margins in mobile, but without acquiring a high profit product mix, it’s asset turnover will plateau and it’s stock price will become stale until it starts to jitter on a downward trend. $70 billion in cash for a company as SMALL as Apple is a lot of lost opportunity if it does not branch out in a new area or acquire more IP to exploit.

You can write off this articles objectivity straight away when you consider that Chris Davies has written an article comparing the whole of Apple’s companies cash reserves against one small division of the other electronics companies worth?? There are so many other things wrong with this article and this trend of these types of articles but other comments have touched on it so I won’t rant on. And just to be clear, I use a mac at work and a self built PC at home and I’ve never had a an issue with this; each has their merits. I’ve never really got in on the fanboy/Apple vs PC business, however, I can start to see why PC guys get so worked up about Mac users; it’s because they talk so much misleading crap constantly.

I they really wanted to be dastardly they’d buy up IP that prevented some handsets to be made without license.. then they could either hault production OR just make sure they get $$ for every competing handset made.. (like Microsoft gets out of HTC)

The apple is not bigger than the fruit basket. It’s only bigger than one apple inside.

for example, Samsungs phone division may be worth 53bn, but samsung as a company is worth far more.
the article makes it sound like apple could buy these companys outright, instead of just their mobile divions

also whilst its amazing apple has 70bn in assets, Samsung has near 300bn

Even if Apple had ties to the federal reserve to print money for them…

There are companies that Apple simply could not buy no matter how much cash they have…

Samsung, Sony, LG, not sure about HTC, but those companies are closely tied to their local governments…

Western companies however are like prostitutes that are close to their local governments…

Also, for western and eastern companies alike have a lot of legitimate legal methods preventing hostile takeovers…

if there wasn’t I would just be the federal reserve buying up everything since they’re not really audited to begin with…even though citizens would probably end up taking the punch when they stop by Kroger for groceries…but…what do they matter…

God Bless America~! meh…rambling about a bunch of non sense!

I think $AAPL is doing just fine right now and they really don’t need to be number 1 in market share.

Their is no need of apples to apples comparison when an apple is bigger than the fruit basket.
