What do you want to do with idle cash? It is ours...

No, it's not "ours".

Oh yes it is! We must have taken different finance class.

Here is a simple explanation. I own my business 100%. Yes, I am the only shareholder. It has $ 10K on the balance sheet. Yes, all that cash is mine, all mine. Let's go further, let's just say there are two shareholders, those two shareholders own the company and the they collectively own that $ 10K.

You can go further to Apple's size, but has the same idea. That $ 137B is shareholders money. We own that.
