    There already is a story out where Apple or someone very close to them laughs at the notion in response to inquiries about the tabloid article.

    When I hear rumors like this one, it reminds me of former Magellan Fund genius Peter Lynch's wisdom. He called this kind of business activity "diworseification."
    The most successful companies laser focus on their core competencies and leverage them for maximum profit. An acquisition of a soccer franchise by a technology company is the opposite of that. And at worst are ego projects. Better to leave it to Tim Cook to buy MU himself after he retires, like other billionaires such as Mark Cuban, Paul Allen, or Steve Ballmer.

    And instead of buying a sports team for $7 Billion and spending another billion of a new stadium, how about returning the $8 billion to us investors??? Hmmm, Tim? Where's my Christmas bonus?
    You know so much and have such informative insight!

    Tell me this, why aren't you a billionaire?

    Peter Lynch. You must be about 500 years old like me. Lynch, his strategy and what he accomplished with Magellan have nothing to do with buying a sports team whether you are  Apple or some collection of rich guys wanting a new toy. You are comparing apples to oranges (pun intended). The way the you spoke may make the kids here think you know something rather than just imitating CNBC.

    The story is complete BS. I read the original story and it does not contain one relevant fact. It is based on "Two sources say ..."

  • Deadly Apple Store car crash was an accident, driver claims

    If the vehicle is a recent model it will have the equivalent of a black box and we’ll see if his story holds up. And of course Apple will be sued for failing to protect its customers and employees. To crash through the glass entry and stop only when it hit the rear wall, as the article points out, that car must have been moving really quick. The investigators will be crawling up his rear to see if he has any history with Apple, good or bad. 
    The story he told is exactly as it happened. Its already held up -  foot stuck on the accelerator and no braking. All the black box will do in this case is confirm what he said. Alcohol test was negative and you can bet if they took a blood test for other drugs, it will likely be negative too. 

    Horrible accident is what this is. It is not some conspiracy driven plot.

    I wonder of the driver, a 52 year old guy, is an iPhone user or android!

  • Apple Towson union accuses Apple of withholding new benefits

    So these morons want to have the u ion but also have all the benefits from non union employees. Cook needs to start leaning from Musk. These entitled losers needs to be removed, I say this as a 25 year shareholder 

    I think Cook did mention Apple will slow hiring and reduce head count soon.

    I would look at Towson store and start with the worse performing employees
    How long you have held Apple stock is irrelevant and seems to be little more than a comment to somehow elevate your status and bestow some kind of special credibility on you. It did not work very well.

    You think are some kind of anti-union tough guy? Laughable at best, but shameful in the least.

    BTW, I've held Apple stock longer than you and am not much of a union supporter.  None of that changes my summation of your comment.
