THE F70 (LaFerrari) Thread

Ferrari Enzo replacement details emerge - Autoweek

Apple and Google may be more "popular" right now, but I would be willing to bet that Microsoft has more cash in the bank than both companies combined.

That in my opinion is far more telling about how strong a company is than their stock price or brand worth.

 

No way

 

Apple has roughly $137 billion in cash... I'll take your bet.

 

How much are you willing to bet?

Microsoft - Cash on Hand = $51.74 B

Google - Cash on Hand = $44.63 B

Apple - Cash on Hand = $30.16 B

All figures sourced from Forbes.

That's assets, not cash.

Exactly. I'm talking cash money in the bank. Not in investments and not tied up anywhere else. Not what their buildings are worth, just cash money that they could theoretically go to an ATM and withdraw.

I know back in the late 90's I did a report on Microsoft for college and I remember reading that they had roughly $8B in CASH at that time.

 

Great - and if you look one post above, you'll see I provided the current facts of cash on hand, and you're still wrong.

I for one don't understand how Google has $44B in cash. What is their income stream? Is that all from advertising? It can't be.

 

Well you're right they don't have double, but they have more.

 

Google had a $50Bln revenue stream in 2012. You might need to examine their business in bit more detail, but perhaps the place to discuss it is somewhere besides the F70 thread?

I'd recommend the Business and Investments forum, but you haven't bothered to subscribe.

Why the hell are you guys talking about how much Google, Apple and Microsoft have in the bank in the F70 thread?

Open a new thread in Business and Investments and talk about it there for crying out loud, show a little respect for the members here that are consistently trying to keep this thread on topic.

 

Don't stop them. It's more interesting than how much downforce the P1 has.

 

Wow. You almost forgot the F*** You at the end.

I didn't mean to piss in anyone's cornflakes. I just posted a personal opinion about the strength of one company over another.

Google says it makes 96% of its revenue from advertising. I just have a hard time believing it can make that much money from advertising. That's all.

Carry on.

 

I didn't forget it and it wasn't even intended, but you can read it that way if you like.

No worries. Sometimes things we write come across differently when someone else reads them.

 

Android.

 

Talked to my dealer today. They are not accepting any orders because, they say, the F150 is ALREADY sold out. Well... It sucks to be poor...

 

Did you ask a Fiat reseller?

 

That was pretty expected since everyone who visited factory was blown off with car.


From Autoweek:

 

+1

Still marking time waiting to see the actual car.

 

sold out? but Ron Dennis has said that that V12 Should hit the museum, I'm curious did he already sold out his crappy sounding turbocharged hypercar

 

They are sold out in the original number they wanted to produce. If you save a couple of years and ask politely maybe they'll produce one more!

 

If you buy one of the several FXX that are currently for sale Ferrari will sell you a F150 even if they are "sold out".

 

That's a good choice!
