Example Of Condolence

The robot and the apple gnawing

We have read all of overtaking sales of Android against iPhone (head remains firmly in the Blackberry). And then the various fan of Apple were quick to produce suckers unlikely groped for the escalation of polished mirrors and clear. Among the more imaginative:

It is not true at all
  • The NPD is actually a publisher of fantasy novels
  • The survey should be repeated using an iPhone (which must be approved by Apple, of course)
  • Everyone knows that there are no androids

Messi by the jokes, we see that Apple has actually given a lot to be done to minimize the news , tagging the data as very significant because for the U.S. market alone. And this was followed closely by all newspapers and blogs loyal to apple.

Apple's response contains both a truth that a lie. The truth is that worldwide the iPhone is still far in front of Android (I have data in hand, but I would not doubt the case). The lie about the relevance of the data presented by NPD. Far from negligible given that the U.S. is the largest market in the world.

It seems interesting to investigate the real reasons that have pushed Apple to unleash his spokesman. It is not only a question of image or feeling gnawing the guts (sorry Steve!). What is the first reaction that occurs when a company loses some of its gold golden? Simple: the stock prices go down. And if we get the leaders Apple, Jobs in the first place, are paid mainly in stock options e che da Cupertino non si è visto ancora il becco di un dividendo, il cerchio si chiude.

Se Apple distribuisse dividendi, allora sarebbe nell'interesse degli azionisti mantenere alti gli incassi dell'azienda (e questo bisogna dire che Apple lo sa fare bene). Visto che però i dividendi non ci sono, allora l'unico interesse degli azionisti è quello di vedere le azioni crescere e crescere ancora. Questo vale ancora di più quando ci sono di mezzo le stock options (ovvero la possibilità in futuro di acquistare un certo numero di azioni al prezzo corrente al momento dell'emissione dell'azione). Le azioni Apple diventano così un titolo puramente speculativo: fa niente che si domini il mercato o che ci siano delle ombre here and there. The continuous rise of the shares is the only income for the shareholders .

still remains to be seen what Apple cares of cheer to those actions do not.
