Completely wild, uninformed, and ignorant guess: They'll buy Twitter or Intel.
In some ways I wish you were right, but I think anti-competition watch dogs may not approve of them buying Intel.

Just an example, if they paid out $50bn in a one time divvy, Fidelity would get around $2.6 billion.

My two worthless cents: an acquisition. Who they'll acquire is anyone's guess...a carrier (probably not), a content provider (maybe), or something more technical (my insane guess: ARM).
