I am a shareholder and use Apple. Let’s put it this way. If he is being outted without his permission that I don’t give a dang because it should never have been mentioned. But if he is going to be out and proud due to his wanting to advance gay rights and such than I won’t be happy and will have to reevaluated the stock....however I can never go back to HP....lol.
I respectfully suggest that before you reevaluate your Apple stock, you evaluate these alleged reports of gayness first. As far as I can tell, they're bogus rumors. If I had Apple stock, and gave it up based on a false rumor about the CEO, I'd be pretty unhappy.
Me, I'd wait until Mr. Cook makes a statement one way or the other, which he might decline to do.
Consider the folks who sold their Apple stock when Jobs announced his time off earlier this week, only to see the stock rise again the next day on the actual business performance of the company. And that was on a real report, not just a rumor!
Of course, what you do with your stock is entirely your own business, not mine. Best of luck!
