What could apple do to bring its stock price out of the gutter?

So Apple is down from 720 to 450 within a couple of months with no real news showing it to be worse than it was when it was at 720. People talk about the guidance being too conservative, though I haven't read the 10-k's or 10-q's or analysts reports. What I do know is that they have ~150 bucks worth of cash per share, and that they had ~13 bucks per share in earnings this quarter. It seems like a real value buy. Thoughts on what they could do to bring the price back up to 550+? Stock buyback, acquisition (twitter?)? Should value guys just put this, and the tech sector, in the "too hard to understand" folder?

 

$94 bil cash over seas, $30-$40 bil domestically, spending 10 bil a year dividend and buy backs. UP buyback authorization, and fix the goddamn gross margin on that bitch. But then again they have way more SKU than a year ago so GM story could be here to stay (Ipad 2, Ipad 3, ipad mini, Iphone 4, Iphone 4s, Iphone 5, etc).

Funny thing is ppl seems to be neglecting the $22 billion in FCF this quarter vs $16 bil last year. Of course working capital contributed $6 bil this quarter but still the fact they can single-handedly bail out Greece with their quarterly FCF is amazing.
