I can’t respect any “financial” institution that would confuse revenue with earnings. If AAPL reported “earnings of $6.72 billion”, in the just ended quarter, their stock would be $400/share.
Sheesh!
Give the money back to the Shareholders.
Oh wait this is Apple? Sorry I thought we were talking about Dell…

Anyone can guess, right?

Apple can’t give the money back to the shareholders.
That money is reserved for “Research and Development”, Phil Schiller’s lunch budget, and Steve Job’s supply of levis and black shirts.
