Dew,
Thanks for the answer. But I still don't see how $38B of foreign profits could be repatriated with all of it being currently contained within Current Assets.
i.e. Substantially all of the following Current Assets would have to be offshore. That strikes me as highly unlikely if not ridiculous! If the $38B is in the Balance Sheet, I still have no idea where most of it could be hiding. I suspect, it's not there.
