Infographic: If Apple Was A Car Fanatic, Here Is What It Could Spend Its Money On
Courtesy of Jalopnik comes a slightly different perspective on what Apple could do with its $100 billion (and over by now) cash horde. Obviously due to the publication's automotive bent, the emphasis is on uses of funds that tend to be related to the 'horsepower' space. In short, the consumer company, which is now far bigger than the entire US retail sector as noted before, could purchase 435,113 Ferrari 458 Italia's and/or some permutation of the other options indicated below. That said, while it is well-known what conventional wisdom says about any gentlemen who feels the need to redirect attention to his red blazing sport car from other, ahem, issues, we wonder what would be said about an entity that feels the urge to procure not one, but 435,113 Ferraris (or 41,667 Bugatti Veyrons for that matter)...

iTHink we've had just about enough Apple for one day. Just one man's opinion. I do not care for Apple.
Apple sucks. The CEO queer apparently
Im shorting Apple 6 months from now.
Maybe by then it will be a trillion dollar company.
Who gives a crap about stocks anyway. Little Eichmanns sucking the life blood out of the economy by not producing any goods and services yet taking their cut. Day traders may as well be HFT algos, what's the difference besides magnitude and speed.
Physical metal and assets are where it's at. When the debt bubble finally bursts and the zombies come knocking on your door, stocks will be the last thing anybody is concerned with.
What does it say about everything else out there that Apple can't find anything better to do with their money.
Thats right.
When the dollar goes for a dive, iShit sales will dry up
Yes, Apple is a sinkhole. the deal is to sink lot's of money into Apple and then ... talk to the Geniuses.
Thats why I am waiting. 6 months should be long enough to go full retard.
So cute when a man needs to label another as "queer" to compensate for his own shortcomings.
Might i suggest a red Ferrari or in your case probably 3 are necessary.
Who gives a shit if he likes his toast buttered on the other side?
I don't like him because he regularly "Sends e-mails before 4:30" and "holds staff meetings on Sunday night."
I guess if you're going to be the dumping ground of vapor capital you've gotta have the waking habits of a powerful lich or vampire.
Wonder if he likes mirrors or crosses in his room?
lol
Homosexuality degrades society. I dont like it.
You degrade society. I don't like you.
History would agree with Spitzer.
I am yet to hear of or read about the details of any religion or culture in history that has treated homosexuality as anything other than abnormal. Abnormal as in that it does not conform to the natural.
The problem today is that too many people, people such as yourself, are offended by the obvious. Hence we have fascists dictating what an individual can and cannot say.
It is understandable though. If one was homosexual it would be difficult to accept that you engage in behaviour that is unnatural no matter the amount of spin doctoring applied and thus the requirement for fascism and indocrination.
I see you don't know much about history. Ever heard of the Glory That Was Greece or The Grandeur That Was Rome?
Doesn't the Talmud permit Rabbis to have sex with boys? And isn't it compulsory for Catholic priests to do the same?
You're an idiot if your comment was implying those were great civs because of the prevalent (or not so prevalent, probably just focused upon) homosexuality.
Oh, I was hoping some dim-witted fool would mention Rome and Greece.
Could you dear enlightened one, provide me, indeed the whole world, your evidence supporting your claim * from your vast and incomparable knowledge of Ancient Roman and Grecian history.
* I have inferred from your post that you believe that homosexuality was an accepted and approved behaviour in Ancient Rome and the states of Greece.
Its a good thing those homos aren't stealing billions of taxpayer dollars and fucking up society.
Hahahahahahaha, divide and conquer. Mission accomplished it would seem.
Ah, yes, the greater acceptance or is that required acceptance of homosexuality in society is just a symptom of the collapse of civilisation. Just ask the Romans. While history repeats the outcome is always unknown.
and Apple CFO is Peter Oppenheimer. What does it tell you!?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Oppenheimer at the bottom of the page under Categories is written: American Jew
here is his father Robert Oppenheimer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Oppenheimer major figure of Manhatan Project

Oppenheimers are not better than Rothschilds, Guggenheims, Rockefellers and all others... They are all the same.
Its cheap at $600. Buy, buy, buy!
:)
Where can I buy solid gold Truck Nuts?
If there are any truths left in techincals, someone might want to let the hedgies know of a gap that needs filling around the $370 mark...
Good luck with that!
The ONLY thing with any truth in it is the word untruth.
Would you care for some other fruit? A banana from our fine republic perhaps?
At this point I think the coconut might be a better metaphor.

There is no economy, just Bernanke with two empty halves of a cocnut, and he's bangin' em together!
They really ought to buy a nice car company (The Apple T-Rex or Apple Spyder maybe) AND the best augmented reality software company in existence right now.
Combine Apple tech, augmented reality into the dash / HUD / windshield and poof ... translate some of that product worship into more profits with a total premium brand in another industry altogether.
No worries , just search engine optimization.
Make no mistake, Tyler is a professional.
I personally wouldn't touch apple. They need to issue a massive special dividend and give a huge payment to their shareholders.

Has iThink been trademarked by Apple? If so, you could be in iTrouble (trademarked as well)...
Let's see: iSuck. iBlow. iShit. iCrap. iWonder if Apple has gotten those names as well.
Stocks are a better investment.
But how many votes could they buy?
They would only need one - the iDiebold vote.
There is more leverage in buying congressmen. Besides, you get to play golf and basketball at the white house.
It could corner the silver market and have enough PM to make its computers for the rest of the company's existence, and also allow them to make a profit selling silver to its competitors.
Just sayin'.
Buy a man a car,
he can learn to drive.
Buy a man a car factory,
he can drive a nation into debt.
A ribbon of a $1T zimbabwe fiat bumwipe note.
Shit buy GM , hedge with a lot of puts, then kill the fucker off like it should be. Make more money .
Why not buy Greece, team up with Germany and take over the entire Euro-zone..............
Toss the slave labor an extra nickel or two.
AAPL doesn't pay the workers, Foxconn does. If you pay them more, the money will just go to Foxconn owners and management bonuses, I doubt a penny would get to the workers.
Long Truck Nutz!!!
That's a lot of TruckNutz. Haha
What the fuck are truck nutz.
Obviously wanky petrolhead bollocks.
Truck Nutz are fake cojones that people hang from the back bumper of their pickup trucks, and are usually found attached to Dodge 'Ram' pickups whose owners have serious issues regarding sexual adequacy.
Um...
1) Down here in my very redneck part of the USA, I've seen three sets of Truck Nutz...on a Chevy, a Ford and a Toyota;
2) The Dodge with the Cummins or Hemi has real balls and doesn't need fakes;
3) At age 54, I can still bring my wife to multiple orgasms every time we make love, which is almost every day. That's not counting foreplay...and does not rely on ersatz sexual appendages.
This American Life ran a retraction yesterday on a recent Apple story that was full of holes; http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/460/retraction
Interesting how folks are so devisive over Apple.
Hate them if you will, but they have no debt and are sitting on a hoard of cash.
I call that a very enviable position, indeed.
Apple shows how much you can accomplish with slave labor...ah, the american dream company.
For an avatar, how about a picture of Mark Twain?
Get it?
*cough*
... sitting on a hoard of promissory notes.
Doesn't sound quite as enviable that way.
Now, even more mutual fund managers can buy AAPL as a growing dividend company, as the dividend grows first with profit growth, and then as a growing pay-out ratio. This modest start is the classic way to insure that dividends can grow.
Maybe AAPL could cover US budget deficit for the month of March, but I doublt it has enough cash for this.
no ZH that's the Sultan of Brunais car collection
apple mania! tulip mania! grando-mania! lots of mania out there today!
Someone tell me how Apple is going to increase it's revenues by the same level as the entire revenues of a fortune 500 company - every year.
That is what the market expectations are.
Clearly these people have never heard of Nortel - when the company is too big for the index - the tail starts wagging the dog.
I do love stupid investors- especially when they are convinced they are superior beings to the rest of the world!
They don't care about realistic expectations annually. These things are decided in sub nano seconds now by dueling computers. Of course a computer company comes out on top? ;-D
I am not an "investor" the way you mean, but I do find it curious that you feel the need to come on here and say the things you say. Are you convinced that you are a superior being to "stupid investors?"
The fact that you compare AAPL to Nortel says it all.
Unfortunately, nothing about the stocks...
what, no obama volt on this graphic??
Remember the Apple "1984" ad?

Now the mindless zombie's are Apple's customers lining up fo the next iWhatever.
When your young child asks "what are those things hanging from the trailer hitch?"
Just say, it is a misguided mating ritual that is helping to raise the collective IQ of the human race.
iRan anyone?
No thank you william. I really, REALLY don't want iRan in the news. Cause if they are, it will be bad news.
I read somewhere that the VietNam war could have been avoided if the U.S. would have used the money spent on the war and bought every one in Viet Nam a new Chevy Station Wagon. And think what that would have done for GM stock.
Ho Chi Minh was ready to come right into the American camp after WW2. The north Vietnamese constitution is even based on the US constitution. But Truman and Eisenhower wanted France in NATO and DeGaulle wanted Vietnam back. He got it too, then in 1954 France decided they did not want it after all and bugged out.
The CIA got involved and the rest is history.
here you go :)

Here's one!
With their money you can build : 22 aircraft carriers with nuclear reactors!
or a little over 10 days of funding the US goverment budget.
Damn William don't do surprise me lie that. i'm a recently divorced lonely guy.
Hope that isn't a crab apple.
I want to know:
Does apple have "cash in the bank" or an extended credit line from one or several banks based on present and future profits.
Thanks!
That's a whole lotta ounces of cannabis cup winners!
Steve Jobs was never our friend.
He didnt give a shit about us - the good people.
I'd buy one of those Swedish models. It's called Konnigssegg or Elin or something or other.
You mean Brit Eckland?
I'd buy tons of food and win the hearts and minds of millions of third world disenfranchised peoples--then I'd coax them into joining my private army. I'd be the world's most ruthless dictator. I'd topple various mini tyrants around the world and spread anarchy and various forms of anti-corporate capitalism and socialism.
The truly horrifying thing about that infographic is that Truck Nutz are actually a thing.
When the future version of Gibbon writes The Decline and Fall of the USA Empire, he would be forgiven if he pinpointed the day that Truck Nutz became a 'thing' as the 'tipping point' - rather than
I like genital-oriented humour as much as the next manly man - if not more so. But if Truck Nutz are a thing even I am prepared to say we have gone way the fuck too far and need to take a breath.
Also: not for nothin' - and NTTAWWT - but dont you find that they would add a certain 'Brokeback Mountain' characteristic to anybody who actually put them on his 'truck'? Seriously - they are faggier than Harleys and leather pants.
Come at me, bitchez.
Golf clap. Well said. Leather daddies probably love them.
Apple should use most of their money to buy Physical Gold. And peg their products prices to gold to avoid inflation, like oil for instance. Because when Fiat collapse all those labor, hardwork and time will all go to waste. But then again I'm not a Genius.
Its a good article! Really you have shared some useful information over the post. thank you so much.
