What do you think net worth is?
Speculators care who’s buying because they’re betting on psychology. Value investors don't care because they’re betting on cash flows. Given that Cook has an MBA, he should be more disciplined in his approach to the stock market. So, he has likely done the fundamentals-based analysis to consider the stock undervalued. The speculators piling in behind him might get lucky if Cook's analysis is right.

Clearly the source was "just trust me bro".I'm curious where you got those numbers. The numbers I'm seeing for 2025 (US) are in in the 2% - 3% range overall.
Food Inflation in the United States (1968-2025)
The average price of food in the United States rose by 2.6% in the 12 months ending November, after posting an annual increase of 3.1% previously reported for September, according to the latest inflation data published December 18, 2025, by the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics...www.usinflationcalculator.com

Would you look at that… the same people that frown work from home, demonize over employment (and equate it to theft) is the same people that not only either work from home, but work from other work’s offices. And not only one other, but hold several job titles on many other companies.
“Rules for you but not for me”
I mean, the money would just be sitting in a bank account and not generating any returns otherwise.
People really need financial literacy. No wonder people are broke and spend their money on useless overpriced Nike sneakers. Most people decide to consume instead of investing.
Tim doing what he does best, juicing that stock price 💉💪
FWIW, I’m sure Tim got permission from the board and corporate attorneys. It’s not uncommon to have CEO’s sit on other companies boards.
Imagine being the person who actually cares about this.
Good to know and not surprised. With Tim being in the board and have always seen Tim in photos with Nike shoes, this is not at all surprising.
I saw a CNBC or WSJ story about Nike's stock price going down. If I was in the US market I'd treat Tim Apple's purchase as a signal to buy Nike shares.

Investing in great American businesses is something to be proud of.
Nike is a fashion and marketing / sponsorship company pretending to be a sports equipment manufacturer.
Honestly, I doubt that anyone who professionally plays their sport would willingly choose to use Nike, if Nike weren’t paying loads of $ for them to do so.

- Tim: Hey Siri, buy me some Nike socks.
- Siri: Sure, boss. 3 million in Nike stocks, presto!

That means something is gonna happen with Nike. Let’s see how much he makes from this inside trade. Lol

Tim Cook is highly talented when it when it comes to things stock-related because he has a highly lopsided focus on it, similar to how Steve Jobs had a highly lopsided focus on innovative user-friendly products. And that’s precisely why Cook should’ve never been made CEO. The position should’ve gone to Scott Forstall instead because he was the most Jobs-like employee at Apple.
I believe I will be able to buy Nike stock at half of Tim's price.
It actually wouldn’t be sitting in the bank not generating returns. The bank would be loaning it out and collecting interest and paying interest to Cook. Cook investing his money in a business that he believes will produce a decent return gives him the ability to decide where his money goes. Putting it in the bank gives some unknown loan officer control of how the money is deployed.
