Analysts remain "concerned" about $AAPL growth because world forests cannot produce enough paper for how much cash $AAPL continues to print.

The good news is that the Irish government uses Euros, which are made of cotton fiber, not wood pulp.
US dollars are made of cotton and linen.
I almost mentioned that too (basically nobody makes money out of paper, it's too fragile), but it ruined the snappiness of the quip.
Microsoft and Alphabet are printing money. Apple had to go digital.
That's why they switched to high resolution displays, so they could fit all the zeros in their bank account on the screen without scrolling.
you know you are in trouble when we start having electron shortages resulting in not enough electrons to erase flash chips so we can program in the large bank balances :-)
One was quoted, saying "The paper shortage due to Apple's enormous cash reserves are overblown; that's why they have Apple Pay."
$AAPL has requested the mint start making them 1 trillion dollar coins
