    A company with $130 billion in cash reserves is floating 100 year bonds.

    So much for billionaires reinvesting profits to trickle down in the economy. Now they hold onto profits, calling in suckers to bet for them and not promising results until all of them are dead.

      We’ve all heard “it takes money to make money.” But rich people know it’s better to use other people’s money.
