Could Apple buy Ford?

Discussion in 'Stocks' started by vanzandt, Sep 13, 2016.

  1. Very tiresome. Of all companies, Apple is not one to be criticized for having no value.

    Apple's cash on hand actually decreased for the first time in seven quarters. Cash on hand this quarter amounted to $231.5 billion, which is down $1.4 billion from the $233 billion on hand at the end of Q2.Jul 26, 2016

    The market capital of Ford is only about 50 billion. Apple, with the cash it has on hand right now, can buy 4.5 Fords.

    They all have there issues, all great in ways and laughably useless in other ways.

    They aren't real companies okay atleast Apple is a 1 shot wonder and sells a few phone types.

    Samsung makes a loss on phones still the Note 7 didn't help.


    I will repeat and tech companies going outside of tech.

    And then back to my long list of ways that tech companies have all literally changed the world, in both concrete and abstract ways. I noticed you ignored that, inconvenient for you I know. As we've both pointed out to you numerous time, something that obviates the need for 20 trucks at the price of .1 truck is far more valuable than 20 trucks. Something that allows you to do what you couldn't do with an infinite number of trucks is more valuable than an infinite number of trucks. You seem to be incapable of grasping that point, so we'll leave you to your rants. That you're posting on the internet.... for a potential audience of millions....from your office/home in the U.K...again you're not getting this so it's probably going over your head....

    The only coherent English in that sentence was "all total rambling". Add irony to the things you don't get! Actually you probably are on to acceptable drinking hours in the UK and you're starting to sound like I have on occasion when I've had one to many, so maybe that's it.
    felixbocharov had a good point, this has gone on long enough and I think your last post just summed everything up better than I ever could. Good day sir.

    I strongly doubt that Apple needs Ford. And why this thread is currently important?
