> The article fails to mention while they have huge sums in the bank, it is overseas so they can't bring it back without paying taxes Well I just read the article and I was pretty sure that's exactly what it said. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying? EDIT: For reference, straight from the article: "By raising cheap debt for the shareholder payouts, Apple will also avoid a potentially big tax hit. About two-thirds of Apple’s cash — about $102 billion — sits overseas in lower-tax jurisdictions. If it returned some of that cash to the United States to reward its investors, the company could have significant tax consequences."
