Apple doesn't trade on overseas markets. Everyone is reading way too much into this. If they were going to manipulate the stock they'd float a more substantive rumor -- not subtly remove an image from Apples website.
This was a nonevent to the rest of the world.
He is leaving CA for UK because of a tax issue? Methinks you don't know much about taxes in the UK. Nowhere near the loopholes (or, if you prefer, "incentives") available here.
I love the way you bring this "news" as if it is pure fact...:roll eyes:
Downward spiral? Er, no. Growing less fast perhaps, but you can't grow exponentially forever.
Marketing team is indeed brilliant but no more so than the product design team or the manufacturing and logistics teams.
And to say that Tim Cook isn't concerned about delivering the best products is ridiculous. Have you ever heard any of his keynotes or financial results calls? How many times does he mention the emphasis on great/best products?
All the time!
He may not be a designer but don't confuse that with him not being concerned about creating great products. You may be forgetting that Apple's success since 1998 has been just as much to do with Tim Cook's logistics genius as it has been due to the design genius of Jobs or Ive. It is their job to come up with the prototype device but then it becomes Cook's job to make millions of them at a profit. That is no small feat!
They must have changed the Leadership webpage, because they didn't just want a slightly better Leadership webpage, but something that was completely new, and designed with intent.
This time they really set out to make the best Leadership page they've ever had. The very essence and distillation of what a Leadership page should be.

Hmm....ur right. Now that I look at them side by side, I can't tell which is which.
You must be a Samsung lawyer

He can start any time in any EU country except the UK. (That's because EU law makes it illegal to stop any EU citizen from working anywhere in the EU, except in your own country EU law doesn't apply, but the local law). Of course there could be a contract where Apple guarantees some payment to him as long as he doesn't work for anyone else.
In the EU, you couldn't prevent him from working with such a contract. You could of course stop paying the salary, assuming you meant 24 monthly payments. You could have a contract "in two years time, we'll pay you X dollars if you don't work for anyone in that period, and we'll pay nothing if you work for someone". Paying upfront for not working would be stupid, because you can't enforce that kind of contract (all in the EU). A contract with monthly payments or one payment after two years would be fine.
What do you know about the tax laws in the UK. Highest rate is 45 Percent. You need taxable income after all deductions over $250,000 to be paying at that rate. Since there is no Federal, State and city that is the total of all three. Also Property tax is like so much less than in the US.

Someones messing with Carl Icahn.
I wouldn't like to be holding a couple of billion in APPL and see that headline.
He deserves it.
