Apple's Growing Problem

The following video is from Wednesday's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill, along with analysts Matt Argersinger and Andy Cross, discuss the top business and investing stories of the day.

According to a Moody's Investors Service report, Apple could have $170 billion in cash by the end of the year if the company doesn't increase its dividend or its share-buyback program. How should Apple deploy its cash? Should Apple borrow a page from Google and start funding other businesses and initiatives?

There's no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology's largest revolution ever and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded, with more than 1,000% gains. However, after it's major backslide recently, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool's senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward.
