  What do you think?

  Apple likes round numbers - I’m guessing $40 billion, otherwise that cash pile is still going to continue getting larger, and Tim Cook will still get bugged every conference call about the ever growing amount.

  Guess I was overly optimistic, congrats to those that picked 15 to 20 billion a year (45 billion / 3 years)
