The main reason for the survival of AAPL after big losses quarter after quarter is the huge amount of its cash reserves. Now, after big charges quarter after quarter, the cash reserves is much lower. Check the latest Quarterly reports (10-Q) before you talk. Last quarter's little positive earnings is pity at best compared to the heavy charges many times before. How many heavy charges can AAPL afford before it is out of cash? What charges? Besides, the small amount of positive earnings comings from cost cutting and paid to the executives huge amounts of stocks and options. Share holders's interest is diluting fast as a result, since AAPL's market share is not increasing but decreasing. How much more dilution of interest can you afford? The previous Q1's earning was significant. Q2 will be better than anticipated. The number of Apple's outstanding shares are still far less than any competitors. As long as it starts to make sustainable net incomes, the number of shares will be adjusted accordingly. Anderson will provide rationale for 17m allocated to future CEO & executives if they want the approval. Phil
