In fiscal 2014, Apple accounted for $13.9 billion in taxes, including $8.6 billion paid in federal U.S. taxes and $855 million in state tax and with $2.1 billion in foreign taxes. That gave the company an effective tax rate of 26.1 percent and made it a top U.S. taxpayer. The company also paid out $11 billion in dividends, triggering an additional windfall of U.S and state income taxes from the company's recipient shareholders.
Well, it's up to the individual investor to do the risk assessment himself/herself, just like almost anything in life. Do you get married to that girl, have kids, drive over the speed limit, buy that house/car/shirt?
That's why I used the term diversified portfolio. Not that anyone with half a clue would be reading random, anonymous bboards like AppleInsider for investment advice.
I do not recommend a diversified portfolio of wives.
The stock is up because I put a buy order in at $100 a week ago. Now I get to watch the price go up and up away from my asking price.

So you are one of the last gasp buyers who bought at $700 . Thank you so much
