When you are CEO of a company it is very tricky to buy/sell stock since you could be accused of insider trading. He didn’t just decide this week to sell these shares. This was planned a while ago and filed with SEC.
If you actually read it or had even basic understanding of how stock sales work for executives....they are pre-determined stock sales, to avoid insider trading. He would have sold these shares no matter what the stock price was. It's predetermined.
You may not know, but you can google for “AAPL” and look up the current value of a share.
What a wild comment. Elon has done WAY more with HIS companies (Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and PayPal) than Tim has EVER done at Apple. How are these earned shares “well deserved”? Vision Pro, Apple Watch, and AirPods, compared to, reusable rockets, mass market electric vehicles and charging networks, off grid power and energy storage solutions, a payment processing behemoth, and a device that allows a paralyzed person to control a computer using their thoughts. Also don’t forget STEVE JOBS created Apple, NOT Tim.
If Steve had regrettably not waited until too late to treat his illness with Western medicine, he may very well be alive today and still at the helm of Apple. I would think it would be in a much better place than under the fiscal, not vision, stewardship of Tim Cook.
Tim is more interested in Apple as a money maker than an innovator, moonlighting as an activist company.
Likely most were sold to cover the taxes on the remaining stock he got during that performance pay out.
Everybody own
Which whale are you personal accountant for? Nice try
For him that is nothing. Seriously. Execs spend money and sell as they get older. Fact of life since it's finite.
I wonder if we'd ever hear anything from him after retirement. I feel like he'd be the person to find a place and enjoy the rest of his life peacefully.
It's always dismaying to read so many comments from people who 1) don't understand stocks or business, 2) don't bother reading anything from the articles, and/or 3) criticize things they don't understand.
Sales like this are usually determined many months or years in advance. CEOs need money too and sometimes have to sell shares. Stock isn't real money until it's sold. There can be some borrowing/leveraging against it, but at some point people need actual money to pay things or do whatever people do with money. Tim Cook also paid a lot of taxes on the sale.

Such an overpaid, scuzzy CEO. The only thing Tim Cook deserves is a pink slip.
Back in the early 90's when Apple was not doing as well, I decided to invest in either AT&T or Apple.
Everyone said that Apple was going bankrupt and AT&T had a good dividend so I invested in AT&T
