So the mining of silver, sand for the glass, the production of petroleum based plastic and all of the transportation involved not to mention all the infrastructure and the water and sewage required to manufacture their over priced crap all comes from the wind and the sun?...
I didn't know that.

Apple, Starbucks, and Amazon. Three major companies explicitly telling their customers to FOAD.

We do a lot of things besides business for profit. Easy to say when you have 100 billion in the bank. Tim, is having the phones made in China one of those things. Also, making the earth a better place than when you found it is nice. But what about LYING, MANIPULATING AND CHERRY PICKING WARMING DATA for political purposes. Why don’t mention that Tim.

Anybody else ever heard of a CEO directly telling certain investors to get out?

Really? You think that’s reasonable? “you can get out.” Cook basically said my way or the highway and f... you if you don’t like it.

“I’d sell APL on Tim Cook alone.”

I did, and have never regretted it!

As I sit here in Texas in March, no less, we have a full blown snow storm. If you are a Climate Change supporter, you need to get out of the US.

A good CEO should be interested in increasing, not decreasing market share.

Apparently this douche is the kind of leader who ignores the warning about "icebergs ahead".

So all Apple investors should only be like minded. Investment in a Corp is not the goal of a company? This must be an addendum to E-101! I’ll have to remember that when purchasing stock. Is this the new segregation of open minds and their investment quality?
We don’t need your money just your promise to bow to what ever The Great Apple has to say! And was that a cue to Sell?

Climate change is real. Its called seasons, its called different ages, it has been occurring since the dawn of time. What is bogus is the man made claims and the carbon tax nonsense etc.

Tell me about climate change.

Yesterday here in Dallas it was 80 degrees, today it’s 23 with freezing rain.

Like so many who promote “climate change”, the only climate change they’re interested in is “global warming”. Foolish, ignorant people.

I have never understood how Rush can be such an Apple fanboy.

That's one way of looking at it.

But, what Rush does goes against the liberal ideology. So, in a big way, Apple and Cook are paying Rush to destroy their agenda. Apple and Cook are supporting the conservative cause, even if they didn't intend it that way.

Climate Change supporter should read Climate Change believer...

Sorry about that. Just pointing out that it is cold and snowy in Texas in March. You would think someone running a business would at least have some heart for those businesses that were modeled on warmer climate projections. They are all going bust eventually.

Is anyone forcing you to purchase and own the stock? If you disagree with AAPL’s stance on sustainability then sell the stock. If enough sell and the stock declines then perhaps the board would make a change I leadership. That’s the epitome of the free market.
