Apple CEO Tim Cook doesn't want "Climate change deniers" to own Apple stock

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-st...t-9163931.html

Some investors were appealing to him not to invest in unprofitable "green" projects, and to disclose the costs of those they were engaged in. He responded angrily with "If you want me to do things only for ROI [return on investment] reasons, you should get out of this stock.”

I've long thought Apple products are junky and overpriced, so not like this news affects me. I'm curious what effects this'll have; right now they're down 0.37% for today.

The entire market is down right now - I don't think this is going to make much difference on their stock price.

Someone needs to tell him that he has a job to do and spending shareholder money on projects with negative return is not it.
I'm curious how many other smaller companies could survive by doing things that did not have positive ROI... 30B in the bank can hide many things.

Well that's why they are charging even more now and looking for options to turn additional profit, such as the change in all their plugs and they charge for any type of customer service support. I'm sure there's a lot more too.

Used to be a great company but now they are getting spanked again in functionality by their competition in nearly every segment. I know I'm done buying i-shit

ROI is the ONLY reason to invest in anything. He sounds like a one-worlder, can't we all get along, weenie, retard, fuckwit moron.

I wonder if that jackass understands that ALL of the products his company generates use fossil fuels directly or indirectly and so do ALL of the consumers of Apple products.

If "green" were profitable venture capitalists would be all over it and the government wouldn't be propping up failures like Solyndra.

Idiots.

+1.. w/o ROI, it's just a bad charity!

I also detest CEO/ LEADERS who start every single sentence with 'I'

+100000 Why do people continue to refuse to accept this logic?

If Apple is so concerned about "the world" why are their products made in China. The communists in China have MURDERED between 50 and 100 million of their own citizens. The Chinese are some of worst polluters on the planet, remember the air pollution during the Olympics there? Why didn't Apple build factories in Africa and give developing nation(s) a boost?

Now that decision was based on ROI :)
