Cook's stock dump was outrageous yet a buy back could work Marc I will try to amplify this: <<I suspect with all the executives regularly supplementing their income without compunction a buy back would be rightly perceived as being abused.>> Your examples of ongoing buy backs at MSFT , DELL and NOVL remind me that abuses are tolerated by equally prospering shareholders . Popular when a stock appreciates but sours in a decline where the buy back supports a market for the dumping of lower cost option shares . January's "all hands" dump knocked AAPL's share price down and I assume that doesn't happen at MSFT , DELL or NOVL. If AAPL's stock price stabilizes it would work better . Converting the Notes , Board monitoring of insider sales and pricing the CEO options would bring more share price consistency. A buy back could then assure ongoing price stability . Just my thoughts.
