Tim Cook: Excellent for shareholders, awful for customers.
Tim Cook is the best CEO in the world for shareholders. But for the customers who loved Apple's user-friendliness (including the most intuitive form of the GUI, which is skeuomorphism) and innovation under Steve Jobs, Tim Cook is horrible.

Apple has sold many more post-skeuomorphic devices than skeuomorphic. Unless customers are being forced to buy at gunpoint, Tim Cook seems to have been good for customers.
gonna hold til the split, then depending on the wechat situation, worst case im expecting 20-30% slide.
Apple haven't really done anything of note since Steve passed. Perhaps the bravest thing they're doing is stepping out to make ARM Macs. That takes some guts or is doomed to fail. Either way this being the only thing of note suggests Cook's tenure will be short-lived.
I am thinking Apple could probably afford to lower the App Store commission rates to 15%..........
You exchange value tokens for an interest in a hopefully successful endeavor. Then you grow old and die.
I only wish I were old enough to buy stock when it was affordable.
But the stock market is exactly the sort of gambling I'm not particularly interested in participating in.

I would sell before the entitled Zoomer kids gain power and force corporations to give dividends to all American citizens, and/or forcibly destroy corporations deemed "too rich."
Absolutely Amazing. It's been 9 years since Tim Cook took over. What are the remaining "apple is doomed" memes?
- the bigger they are the harder they fall...look at blackberry for a lesson.
- it's only a matter of time.
- in the long term Apple is going to implode. (what is long term? From today or 2011?)
- Apple has hypnotized the masses so they open up their wallets without thinking.
- etc, etc

Why sell? Let it ride and keep collecting those sweet sweet dividends
It simply illustrates the HUGE Disconnect between Wall Street & Main Street !
That isn’t a conspiracy theory. That is a well documented fact. The government props up the stock market. This isn’t something that just happened under the current administration.
You can make money in the market. But there are a couple of things to consider. One is that while the market is going up prices across the board are going up. You may not be truly getting ahead. Two is that the insiders always have the best info. They know when to get out or get in.
It seems absurd that when we have a pandemic and large sectors of the economy are shut down that our stock markets would be breaking record. It seems absurd because it is absurd. Which means success isn’t tied to (or at least perfectly tied to) actual results as it should be.
.. that would make nothing without Apple. Tell me how many stores you know of that just stock products for free.
Great time to own Apple stock, but it is the worst time to consider buying Apple Stock. Not only is the stock price too high, but it will soon face antitrust issues.
I would imagine a lot of folks are going to consider stepping out of it for a little bit.

I think it is mostly due to the fact that savings accounts now pay close to 0%, and with nowhere else to put your money you just keep buying stocks. Including every single company via 401k plans. I used to keep some money in savings earning a few percent on it, but those days are over (IBM is now my savings account). Combined with RobinHood-like apps young people are also pouring everything in the market. No matter what the case... Can't go up forever, so sell often floats in the back of my mind. But I'm no expert in finances, just lucky for buying Apple and never selling any yet.
That said though, look at Apple and Amazons results. The pandemic has been nothing but a huge financial win for them.
When you hear that Warren has, that will be (would have been) the time.
Just think of another 350 lawsuits from jealous companies and European governments, wanting a piece of the 2 trillion dollar Apple Pie! It boggles the mind.
