Dear Apple,
Stop selling/giving away shares.
Thank you in advance.
A strong indicator that analysts and stock managers are unreliable: “‘The market will do whatever it has to do to prove the most people wrong,'” Todd Morgan, Bel Air Investment Advisors in Century City.”
And proof that the market is Las Vegas: “The market mainly reflects investors’ collective perception about where the economy and corporate profits are headed.”
He is an example of the idle rich, producing an insignifcant amount for practical use on the commons.
