When will people stop paying attention to Forbes and their badly vetted contributors? I'm as foolish as anyone, every time I get linked to a Forbes piece and only while reading it do I remember how bad most of their content is.
As pointed out by one comment on that piece, the biggest error the contributor includes is "Apple’s stock has lost about half of its market value since October 2011, when he took over as CEO". In actual fact, Cook took over as CEO in August when the the price was $376.18, lower than it is right now at $390.53.
I'm sure there are arguments to be made that Cook should be replaced (not saying they are or aren't the right arguments), but they shouldn't be made by someone who screws up the facts that badly, whether it was a mistake or just talking shit to fit his story.
