  • Carl Icahn, David Einhorn cut Apple positions amid hedge fund titration

    I think the last two posters have their "anger" aimed in the wrong place.  I am P.O.d that they were among the people pushing Cook to do more buybacks - well over $100,000,000,000 down the drains and the stock continues to suck.  They are shedding AAPL due to a lack of confidence in Timmy and his court of under performers.  A house cleaning is needed starting with the Chair, some useless board members, Timmy, and Eddy - that would be a good start.
    Explain in detail how the best performing quarter in the company's history was achieved by under-performers?

    The biggest error Tim Cook has made was to spend more than 2 minutes listening to Icahn and Einhorn - for that he should be criticised.

  • Judge orders Apple to access iPhone belonging to San Bernardino shooter [u]

    Judge orders Apple to hand over live unicorn or face penalties.  The world waits with baited breath.

  • Apple plans new flagship store in central Stockholm -- report

    Do not know this location, but a 7 hours drive from Copenhagen is a bit over the top. So not exactly a Scandinavian flagskib shop, but just another swedish Apple shop. Danes have nothing, we have shops like in India.
    Ireland and Denmark are getting similar treatment - no shop, but you can have a data centre.

    I think the question is, is it worth it to Apple, to keep building infrastructure and investing in Europe?

    It seems like the answer is, no. Europe doesn't want Apple.
    Apple makes 18% of it's revenue from Europe.  How do you conclude that 'Europe doesn't want Apple'?

    I can assure you that the wretched An Bord Pleanála is as much a thorn in the side of anyone who want's to do anything in this country.  They even scuppered plans for a national children's hospital a few years ago.  They are a bunch of Luddites that the Irish government doesn't seem to have the balls to question or overhaul.

    That said, I would be interested to know why they want to plonk such a facility in basically the middle of farm land where there is literaly nothing nearby except a motorway, some cows, sheep and the odd farmhouse.  I'm sure there is a good reason, just wondering what it is.
