I agree with you the fact that WallStreet continues to bend them for about a couple of weeks just so they could control the market. Maybe Apple needs to go private so there won't be anymore pressure from the so called finance industry and they could concentrate again to build awesome products.

This doesnt really make sense in Apple's case since they're at a such a gigantic size. The closing market cap 381B - cash 145B is a huge number. Who's going to pitch in to buy the rest of those shares? Good luck getting that done without any input from those you call the "finance industry".

How could they possibly raise roughly 250b (when you subtract their cash) to take the company private?
