Who would you suggest? Elon Musk is taken (and is also most likely liberal). The truth is, leading an innovative corporation requires creativity and a curious mind; few conservatives have both those traits. Not saying this is wrong, but do you have any citations or studies confirming this statement?

By the way, I'm not convinced that Tim Cook has these traits: he seems more like a second-in-command kind of guy. There is a television show called Halt and Catch Fire on AMC that is a fictional historical look at the early years of the personal computer industry. It provides the series creator's insights into the personalities of tech types: there is even a thinly disguised Steve Jobs character who is a brilliant and creative jerk. I recommend it.

Tim Cook has shown more balls than any CEO today, and possibly ever. Whatever effect is has on Apple aside, I think he's definitely shown that he is a leader, and one that provides leadership far beyond the conventional definition.

If you believe that, are you still invested in Apple? My impression was that you sold most of your holdings during his tenure. Does your neutral/short position on Apple reflect your belief in his leadership? or does it reflect your belief that his leadership has no connection to the success of Apple? or does it reflect your admiration of him as a social leader who is using his de facto business leadership as a bully pulpit? or does it reflect that you've just been hypocritically trolling this forum with your doom and gloom?

I've stated over and over again that I'm long. I've reduced my position at times (e.g. Brexit) and bought some puts as insurance at times (this week). My being long doesn't mean I don't have concerns. If you think I'm a troll just put me on ignore. I'm not an idiot. I don't short a stock with an ex-cash P/E in the single digits and $50B FCF.

It's a great show! When all the dust has settled around Apple's cash and where they pay their taxes (probably U.S.A. in the future), you'll get more from watching Halt and Catch Fire than the drama of the EU European Commision's lust for Apple's cash. P.S. F.U. E.U.
