Cramer, I remember, floated that idea a couple weeks ago as well. I agree that the purchase of Twitter would be great for Apple. They already have established a cohesive product base for communication in the future and their eventual incorporation of Siri into everything will only further establish this. To then own future communications platforms like Twitter and be able to plaster Apple ads all over it would be like any large company of today being able to advertise continuously on every cable television station simultaneously. To own an entire media genre would be incredibly lucrative.

But I also feel that Twitter will be forced into an IPO, in the same way FB was, by 2014 at the latest. Whether I am right or wrong about this is not all that important in terms of GSVC. They own shares currently and those will appreciate either way, whether Twitter stays private, goes public, or is purchased outright. Assuming we don't go to war with Iran, invade Syria, stoke Russia/China, and have Europe collapse. Without all that, I think GSVC is a lock.
