It would also mean Apple have to radically restructure the compensation of many of their corporate employees to remain competitive.

Banks are in the business of giving loans and they pay professionals to evaluate the assets of borrowers.

That is in contrast to me and everyone else who just gamble collectively.

For example, to buy some company to improve their business. They can do that in cash or they can issue more shares, e.g. with their Beats acquisition.

> On May 28, 2014, Apple officially announced its intention to acquire Beats Electronics for $3 billion—with $400 million to be paid in Apple stock and the remainder in cash.
