Enter shareholder activist David Einhorn, whose hedge fund Greenlight Capital has been pressing Apple to distribute a healthy fraction of that cash.

股东积极主义者大卫·埃因霍恩（David Einhorn）出场了。他的对冲基金——绿光资本（Greenlight Capital）一直施压苹果公司派发合适比例的现金。对于这一行为，许多评论持负面态度：埃因霍恩的建议是短视的金融工程思维，而其针对的是一家从成功走向成功的公司——最糟糕的美国股市短视行为。
