[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8860442, member: 7023840"] This is what gets spit out when you google, "How much cash does apple have" You have not impressed me with your deep understanding. On the internet, no one knows you are a dog. But they can tell if someone knows what you are talking about by their choice of words. Maybe they are intelligently discussing a topic with the terms that are use, and maybe they keep referring to a love for kibble. We're good. Yep. Not hard. you do have to do more than google and cut & paste the first result you see. No. This is, and was, a terrible point. There are [I]all types[/I] of mergers and acquisitions. All types of LBOs. Companies can, and do, acquire companies that are larger than they are. Trying to make an analogy to buying a home for an individual homeowner is ... beyond not helpful. It's the same type of mistake people make when they try and discuss sovereign debt and they're like, "It's just like your credit card." It's not. Terribly analogies obfuscate- they don't help. But it's pretty clear to me that you aren't interested in the underlying facts or issues, so I don't think we need to continue the conversation. Take care. [/QUOTE]
