NPH I could see for Tim but Angela, I'm thinking more of a Robin Wright type. But if we went this way we'd need to cast their MS and Google, Facebook and Amazon counterparts and make it Pirates of Silicon Valley 2.
Got a tip for us?

I owned 100 shares of AAPL back in 2005 I think, sold it at $60.I have 3 shares in AAPL, it sounds so pitiful but I just like that I have some
Yes, bad move
If you're hired as a top manager for a FTSE 500 company you're probably already a multimillionaire.
I'm guessing you got so triggered by the first sentence, you couldn't continue on to "In all seriousness..." That implies I was joking.
Y'all question all of her decisions and say she's clueless, so why should this one be any different?

"we have so much confidence in Apple...we dumped our stock"
I bet a Specialist knows more about how Apple's products work, and how customers interact with their products, more than the executives do.
After eight years of Apple retail in almost every role, dare to challenge me on this.
Yeah, exactly. It'd be crazy to keep all that Apple stock when you're getting more of it periodically and it's such a huge amount compared to whatever else you might own. Plus, a lot of these executives probably want to actually buy some stuff, and you can't buy stuff unless you liquidate.
LOL....don't even ask about the Netflix shares I bought around 2006 at 43 and sold at 86 - proud that I doubled my money after a couple months and seeing that they languished around 65 for a while......still makes me sick to think about it.
No one has made any doom comments.
Also they prefer to be paid in stocks so they pay less taxes.

HAHAH. I have 5 shares so don't feel to bad. I bought at $92.90, so thats $301 profit (if I sold today) or a 60% return. Thats an amazing return. I do plan on selling but not until after iPhone 8 release.
When it comes to taxes on this kind of equity compensation, it's treated much the same as cash compensation. When the shares vest, they count as ordinary income for the recipient at their current market value. That recipient has to pay taxes on them that year and at the same rate as they would if they were paid that amount in cash. Often they sell shares in order to do that or the company withholds shares similar to what it would do if it paid the employee in cash.
If the recipient holds on to the shares after they vest, increases in their value are treated as capital gains. It's the same as it would be if the employee was paid in cash, paid the taxes due on that pay, and then bought shares with what was left.
And to be clear, the tax value of the shares - i.e., what the employee has to pay ordinary income taxes on - is determined when they vest. That is when the employee gets control of the shares and can do something with them. It is not determined when the employee is awarded the RSUs.
No, I will stick to Celine Dion for Angela. Richard Dreyfuss will play Walt Mossberg, several actors will play Steve Jobs. I have a friend from Mexico who can play the struggling years, Noah Wyle will reprise the doldrum post Apple NeXT years, Patrick Dempsey for the later years.
Why ? They're always claiming that money doesn't interest them.
While optimizing the company for wealth 24/7. Must be frustrating.
And then they're avalanched with truckloads again.
Oh no, in this case they rewarded themselves...

The one saving grace was I took the money from the Netflix sale and bought Apple with it - so I have (after the 7 for 1 split) a price of $38/sh - a healthy profit and a 6.6% dividend....but not as good as if I had held on to Netflix.
Ms. Ahrendts sold another $3.9 million worth of AAPL, 25,377 shares, on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The chairman of Apple's board, Arthur Levinson, exercised and sold 35,000 10-year old stock options on Tuesday for a net of $4.8 million. Those options were to expire in August.

Please do. Love watching shorts lose money because they gamble for greedy reasons instead of invest for growth reasons. Also love watching them lie to themselves and the public when they buy short positions. The originators of manipulative fake news!
