Apple outearnned BAC, JPM, C and WFC combined last quarter. I used to think it was nuts that Apple had a higher market cap than BAC, C, WFC, and JPM combined. But, Apple's $13 billion profit was about $4 billion higher than those banks in the 4th quarter. Apple is becoming an industry of it's own. I think they should do a 10 for 1 split, get the stock price back to $50 and then announce a 3% dividend. That should give everyone a chance to buy their stock at a reasonable price no matter how high it jumps after the announcement. It really wouldn't matter if the stock was $50 or $60 after the split. Cramer keeps telling everyone that they should divide Apple's share price in 10 do get a realistic value of what they are buying. A move from $42 to $44.6 today hardly even seems like a big deal. I'd like to see Apple make that a reality so that Apple stock doesn't end up like Google for the next 5 years swinging up and down in a 200 point trading range. Who wouldn't want to buy Apple at $50 with a $12 billion annual dividend? By the June quarter, Apple would have enough cash on their balance sheet to finance 12 years worth of $12 billion dividends. If Apple announces any kind of capital plan that would include 25% of net income as a dividend base, I expect to see a big split announcement out of Apple to make it relevant.
