Dear Tim Cook:
May I kindly request 1 million dollars out of the 124 billion dollars cash reserve that Apple has?
Pretty please!
121.3 billion in cash/liquid assets.
That just boggles the mind. Totally insane.
Yes another good quarter for Apple. The big question is what will Applw do with all it's cash?

Which if it happens would be a disaster, since it would represent a drop from the same quarter this year. Yeah, so, wow.
Analyst EPS estimate 8.75 actual 8.67 difference around 1%.
AAPL EPS guidance 7.65 actual 8.67 difference around 13%
Getting within 1% is not easy they were remarkably accurate this quarter, it bugs me that people say analysts are unreasonable when they were, have been and will probably continue to be a lot more accurate then AAPL. It also doesn't matter whether you listen to the analysts or not the market does.
I think it will slowly grind higher short term since it had quite a big correction, and it is far from expensive right now.
lol.. what a stupidity. a drop in %, but huge growth in overall revenue.
In addition, customers delay purchases of tablets due to new product rumors. These intensified in August and September. Some was anticipated but some we wished wouldn't occur but it did.
Gene Munster asks a question about products being more expensive to build and wondering if Apple would be willing to pass on more of the costs to customers. Douchbag.

earnings missed expectations as did iphone sales.
We're extremely bullish on demand with the revenue guidance.
Plus it's kind of depressing to see that a computer company barely sells any computers anymore looking at that chart.
After a fashion. The markets are used to the Street being pretty conservative too. Anything less than the Street + 10% is generally seen as a disappointment. The big change I've seen over the last year or so is how far off the unaffiliated analysts have become. For quite awhile, they were the ones getting much closer to the real number, but that was when Apple was routinely beating the Street by 15% or more.

Excuse me? I don't know what you are talking about. Perhaps you don't either.
I got out...Got in at $590 in May. Should've exited at $700, but left at $611.
Sure, Apple makes money, but for an investor Q1 2013 estimates are at a lower % than Q1 2012 estimates.
I'm not saying Apple the company is doomed but I'm saying AAPL (as in the stock) is.
People who look at Apples cash hoard and think it is getting unreasonable need to understand that a lot of it is overseas.
Money made on products that have no impact of the United States yet the United States government somehow feels entitled to tax it. This is money which has already been taxed.
So no, Apple cannot use that money for *anything* until the United States government gets it head out of its ass.
It's not that much. Firstly, most of it is abroad. When they start paying real dividends (and they will have to) they will have to bring money to USA and finally pay the taxes. Secondly, even discounting the taxes, it's just about $129 per share.
Then when the iPhone is no longer popular, what will happen to Apple then?
