Basically, for someone to come up with enough shares+money to buy Apple's shares, they would then have those $15 billion available to pay for the purchase. That's why a lot of companies that want to prevent takeovers buy back stock, thus reducing cash reserves (even to the point of incurring debt).

I mean its amazing how much revenue this company generates and still doesn't payout anything to its shareholders. 15 Billion in cash reserves.. Shouldn't they start acquiring some companies already? They sold 6 million handsets last year and with this new price drop it would probably double if not triple. Now do the math 10 million handsets @ $53 a pop = buy some Aplle shares ... lol WOW that is just impressive.
