I said it first here.
The banks need Apples cash and are now hunting for a good argument. http://modeledbehavior.com/ seems to have spent the last couple of days looking for a good argument. This one has driven Gruber to drink!
I like this one where they identify the problem with the worlds largest company! By the way, the problem it’s the agent-principle problem that was called the dumbest idea in the world just last week.
One style point, I love the opening.
“We at Apple would like to thank you for standing by us all through the years. To our original investors we owe particular gratitude. If it were not for you, we of course, would not be here today.”
How many original investors do you are still with the company 30 years later? What about all the other investors who actually have done nothing for the company?
I’m looking for the campaign that the new office is a sign of corporate greed and that the plan has grown massively now Jobs is no longer there to lead the company. “Stop the office and give us the cash”!
