    Apple has tons of cash. This is what's it's for: to extend your lead when the market is in a downturn. Judicious is fine (does that mean that Apple wasn't judicious previously?) but tying a hand behind your back when you're making record revenue doesn't make sense.

    Nah, stores might have been necessary 10 years ago, not anymore. Cash should be used for R and D and acquisitions and stock buy backs ,

    Close the non performing stores   immediately ,  can save a ton of cost there just closing 1/3 of them 

    Stores are likely to still be useful and necessary as service centres and for genius bar etc to support the ever increasing user base of products.
