4.5 million shares

[www.sec.gov]

4,500,000

time

60

equals

270,000,000 right?

After taxes probably a little over $768.

TRUST ME - I would NOT WORK ....EVER.....and neither would my next 4 generations of offspring!

And, that total is 25% LESS than it would have been a few months ago.

Deee aammmmmmmm

4,573,553 shares * 64.66 $/share = $295,725,936

If he has trouble scraping by on that, he still owns 5,426,451 shares.

- Shadow

it's $270 million, not $2.7 billion.

Actually he probably just is going shopping for new furniture and a car with the 2.9 billion. Not to worry.

Maybe he has to pay taxes.
On the profit from Pixar?

That would sure in part explain Apple's recent dips. Must have been some in the know on this coming sale... and then of course the sale of the 4.56 mil shares. Damn! 300 mil pocketed before taxes - And I am sure he's making large donations to charities.

Yup.... Steve did indeed file to sell those shares..

OUCH..

I think Tomorrow is going to be a bad day for AAPL.

Personally, I learned not to read too much into insiders selling, unless they're ALL SELLING. Maybe Steve just wanted a new Gulfstream... or Boeing Business Jet...
Or to put a down-payment on Disney...

Okay, mick e is now considering a "Dump and Run".

Disposition (Non Open Market) at $64.66 per share.?

Could that mean that APPl is low enough Apple may be repurchasing some of these shares or options?

How does that work? Who bought those shares for $64.66/share? Oh wait, I see, this happened on the 19th. This would suggest that perhaps Steve needed the cash for a different investment and perhaps apple bought the stock back from him because they know it is going up. If he was selling because he knew of events that were taking the stock down, then that would be illegal insider trading. Nevertheless, this news may panic some people who will sell out of fear, temporarily taking the stock down further.

He might be positioning for something at Disney. In which case a "Dump and Run" would be patently unwise.

Has nothing to do with the French trying to open up iTunes and the impact on Apple's ipod business.

Officers have limited windows to exercise stock. He would have had to do this in advance of any recent news.

But, WHY IS HE WORKING???? AT ALL???

If he had that kind of attitude, he wouldn't be a billionaire (unless of course he was born into a family that rubs shoulders with saudi billionaires). Jobs obviously loves his work. If I had his job I wouldn't quit either. On the other hand if I was working in a slaughterhouse and won the lottery I'd quit the same day.

aapl is approaching it's 200 day moving avg. THIS IS BIG! It hasn't dropped below this line in years. If the stock is healthy, it'll bounce off that line nicely. If unhealthy, it'll crash through the line on high volume. If you see this - run! Otherwise, longterm holders should no worry. Short term traders are long gone.

and re Jobs stock sale - dont read too much into it. It's just plain stupid to have 1/2 bil in one stock no matter what it is.

I don't buy that at all. It's just an artificial construct. Why not the 100 dma, or the 300, or the 500, or the Ouija board moving average.

It's an artificial consrtuct that millions watch very closely and believe in. Call it a self fulfilling prophecy if you like, but there is reality there...

The reality of the 200 dma is that it is a chartists fad. I doubt that "millions" use it, but certainly thousands do. There is also significant controversy over what it signifies or whether it can be used to make successful general buy, sell, long, short decisions at all. If it was so useful, then all the chartists and their clients would be rich...and they're not. Sorry, but I rely heavily on statistical analysis at work so I'm constantly on the alert to bogus conclusions derived from statistical parameters.

You've inspired me to add a new sig!
