I always wonder why Apple does not utilize its revenue and profits the way Amazon does by funneling it towards CapEx and ever grow more ambitiously with its acquisitions and new products and services. I have seen Apple keep buying back its own stock and giving ever more dividends to its shareholders rather than investing in itself.
