Buybacks just manipulate stock prices. Companies should concentrate on taking care of employees, making great products, taking care of customers, in that sequence. Stock prices will take care of themselves if companies do the right thing.
Buybacks are a way of returning capital to shareholders, just like dividends. They can have some advantages over dividends from a tax perspective, and it’s a lot easier for management to end a temporary buyback than reduce an established dividend. Obviously there can be downsides- executive compensation can be tied to share price in a way that incentivizes buybacks at the expense of the business’ long-term profitability, and companies often overpay for their stock, but in theory, there’s nothing wrong with it.
Oh how quickly people forget, that the original Macbook Air, the computer that that started the whole trend of not upgradable, not self-serviceable, with only 1 USB port, all at a premium price, was the baby of Steve Jobs. How quick are they to whitewash his legacy.
I don't understand how a company like Apple could go private via buybacks. These stocks are retired or used as bonuses, and if the company buys them back, then who owns the company?
Apparently he is,... All of a sudden Musk is commenting on the Apple vs Epic court case. Musk has a loyal following but he's also an opportunist
Probably because he wants his solar housing project to get attention. The best way into someone’s mind is to be prevalent for an excessively long amount of time.
Did you do a check of how much a Tesla vehicle costs, or are you ignoring Musk’s pricing AND narcissism in favor of being anti-Apple? Go compare any all-electric vehicle to a Tesla price wise and report your findings.
Not sure if electric vehicle with boatloads of expensive battery cells and self driving features is comparable with chinese made tablet that costs far less to produce and contains less of those expensive rare earth minerals.Did you do a check of how much a Tesla vehicle costs, or are you ignoring Musk’s pricing AND narcissism in favor of being anti-Apple?

…? I’m talking about the Mustang Mach-E, the Chevy Bolt, the Macayan, etc… where did you get tablets from?
right, the sources (if true) were prob super close to either CEO and would understandably be afraid to be named. don't think anyone will know if they said it or not. choose to believe who you want. i tend to believe in a moment of an insane request from Elon that Tim could respond like that in a candid and assumed private conversation. now approx 5 years later the game of telephone may have taken hold and words altered. who knows.
Im talking about you apparently implying that Tesla run Apple would still be the same overpriced tech company with little innovation and progress from year to year.…? I’m talking about the Mustang Mach-E, the Chevy Bolt, the Macayan, etc… where did you get tablets from?

If you don’t like Apple’s sameness, then chill with windows. It’s better than being a Tesla fan, I’m sure.
