What idiot owns Apple stock?
- tigroferoce 10y agoIs your decision about a phone based upon the audio connector?
- randcraw 10y agoOf course, among several other criteria, some surely more important. But my thoughts on the audio connector are independent of my thoughts on Apple's stock value, and everyyone else's. Imagining that you can constructively send a message of displeasure to Apple about changes to their audio jack by shorting their stock... this is what's nuts.
- MagnumOpus 10y agoOwning Apple stock is quite rational even if you think Apple products are bad value-for-money. As a shareholder, the huge profit margins of selling proprietary earbuds for $170 all accrues to you! 8% earnings yield with massive user lock-in - wouldn't you want to be on the side that gets the money rather than on the side that hands it over?
- ska 10y agoShorting technology stocks based on technologists and engineers understanding of the consumer electronics market has historically proven to be poor financial advice. As for who owns Apple stock - the usual suspects for any stock with that good of a recent track record.
