Now if they would just start bringing more of that cash back here to the States.

Doesn't matter. It won't "trickle down".

I wouldn't know, I like Lester Holt as an anchor, and I like his voice and diction ... comparable to a Brian Williams in smoothness without the baggage.
I just realized who he reminds me of and I could never figure it out over the years ... Tim Russert.

I liked both Tim and his son Luke.

Apple keeps most of its cash outside the U.S. for tax reasons, but President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress are expected to change rules on repatriation of cash stored overseas, which could make it easier for Apple to spend some of the money on acquisitions without taking a major tax hit.

if they cant get it done doing the tax cut stuff, they want to create a holiday not just for apple but other companies where they can bring it back. They would only be taxed 10 percent and the 10 percent would be used for bridges, roads, etc..

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I own 735 shares of Apple and hope that they continue to increase their dividend and/or invest/acquire to increase their market share.

they have to get the money stashed overseas back somehow, trillions of dollars. Bring it back and use it on roads etc..

Why Trump's potential $500 billion tax holiday could make Apple and Microsoft huge winners

That's fine but doesn't do anything to address the stagnant wages over the past thirty years.

My wages have dramatically increased over the past thirty years.

I respectfully disagree.

Back on topic, one only has to read today's tweets from Trump to get a sense of the desperation.

 

[bbsam]

I respectfully disagree.

And they call my generation self involved.
