In reply to Gilberto.

Honey, do they teach finance in them favelas in Brazil. Stock value =/= financial trouble, stock value = a loss in the value of the stock. Apple has got a huge cash horde, now if you knew anything about what you're talking about, investors get jiffy whenever a company is hoarding cash because that cash is not doing anything but losing value. What that means then is if the company does not invest that cash into something, the investors will walk because they want a company that is seen to be doing SOMETHING with the cash it has.

The Loss in stock value is due to a loss in investor confidence, not a loss in cash. This is from the Guardian newspaper, "Apple also added $8bn to its cash pile, bringing it to $145bn. "We are pleased to report record March quarter revenue thanks to continued strong performance of iPhone and iPad," Cook said. " end quote. Yes, the company added $8 Billion USD to its cash hoard, that however resulted in loss in investor confidence.

Investor confidence affects stock value, not the overall financial health of the company. People are still buying Apple products and Apple is still doing very well judging from the $8 Billion USD it added to its cash hoard. Now honey if you knew anything besides the type of leotards Beyonce is wearing, you would know this BASIC financial knowledge.
