robrob[/url]":ud9p5ou5]Base salary of $800k for executives is actually incredibly low, but at the same time in early 2012 these people sold hundreds of thousands of shares and took away tens of millions. It's a great strategy that Apple has, these people have become incredibly wealthy via building the value of the company rather than the usual CEO path of tens of millions in payouts when they're fired.
Except the CEO has approved borrowing money to buy back stock, boosting the stock price. Hence the CEO can play games with OPM (other people's money) to make money for himself.
Come on now, it's not as if Apple can't actually afford the stock buybacks and dividends. Even despite the recent buybacks and dividends, Apple's total cash and cash equivalents keeps increasing.
Borrowing the money makes sense because A) interest rates are so low it's basically free money and B) Apple avoids repatriating overseas cash and incurring a tax.
Really, I understand you're upset about your paymaster circling the toilet, mostly due to Apple, but your recent Apple-hating posts have degenerated into incoherent gibberish. Get a hold of yourself, there will be other companies for you to love after Blackberry dies.
