The stock buybacks are the best way for stockholders to get value out of the company.

They have been given a very bad reputation because companies who claim to be struggling and do not pay taxes are buying back their shares. Taking that out on Apple is ridiculous.

What business is it of the DOJ if Apple is not spending more on R&D?

What "monopoly" would that be? They have 27% of the market.
