AAPL: Why Apple Shares Are Still Just Half Price — The APPLE Facts That Will Blow Your Mind

Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) just wrapped up one of the most incredible quarters in American business history. The founder of News Corp. tipped the Twitter blogosphere today that Apple shares at the $448 level are resoundingly cheap if the Facebook public offering values the whole of Facebook at $75-$100 billion. Apple now has $97.6 billion in cash. Last year the company increased its cash hoard by nearly $38 billion. That means Apple was adding $1,200 to its cash pile every second.

In GDP terms, Apple's cash pile alone would make it the 58th largest country. That's ahead of global hot spots Iraq and Libya while just trailing Qatar, a country with enough economic clout that it was selected to host a World Cup. Maybe we could look forward to a 2026 World Cup in Cupertino?

At its current Forbes valuations, Apple could buy every single NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL team -- and still have $31 billion left in the bank. more below from Fool.com
