Apple is a brilliant culture that needs to stay on its toes. Don’t hold on to long to those $10 shares!

1. publicity
2. money
3. ego strokes
Not necessarily in that order. Although the publicity may end up making money for him.
Apple is one of the most successful companies in the world — right now.
And everyone thinks they can tell the management how to do it better.
Disclaimer — I hold Apple long. Bought at $10/share
