If they're confident the stock price will go down by the time those are vested, then they can make money by effectively shorting their own stock by dumping out RSU's now.
By "they" I assume you mean Apple. I don't think Apple thinks their stock is going to go down. They buy back billions of dollars of stock every quarter and they've been doing it for years.
By that logic, rearranging a couple of pieces on a chess board while your opponent steps away momentarily to grab a beer from the fridge shouldn't be considered cheating because you still had physical access to the board the whole time.
I get your point, but if you're playing with someone who can't remember where the pieces are then you sure shouldn't have to resort to cheating to win.
Working on a farm. It's back-breaking work and pays a tiny tiny fraction of the assembly job. Nobody wants to do it. The ones who do have other option.
This type of blatant fraud seems to never get adequately punished. This saga of what appears to be ongoing habitual fraud finally came to an end and the guy got only 108 months.
"Prosecutors said Thompson engaged in a scheme to sign up hundreds of thousands of cellphone customers for paid text messaging services without their consent."
What is even more sad is that the Intel CEO dumped all of his stock after learning about the flawed processors, and it looks like he is getting away with it.
Not all. Not even close. And the stock didn't move on the news. And you appear to be using "after" to imply "because of", when all we really now is that it was after.
Better it happen to me on a motorbike than pissing and shitting myself in a nursing home.
If you're lucky. Death is not the only outcome of a bad accident. You're just playing rhetoric games, convincing yourself that's it's a reasonable thing to do. I know, I did it too.
I don't think "coward" is the right word for not wanting to ride a motorcycle in a Latin American city. I know, I did it for nearly 10 years. But you're in your early 30's. You still think "it won't happen to me!"
Because I'm not paying for insurance for a self driving car, because that implies I'm taking responsibility for how it drives... and I'm not.
If you own it you're responsible, just like anything else. But ownership will quickly fade away, and it will nearly all be spot rentals. it will take a generation as the "legacy" car owners won't cotton to the idea, but their kids will.

Yup.
Double the action. It'd be like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of value.
I'd suggest re-reading the thread. Or perhaps reading it for the first time.
Perfect response. And you made me laugh, too.
Some rando? omfg.
If Garcia and his wife had just had a walled garden this wouldn't have happened.

Well, yeah. That's how stocks work. If the price goes up they will get more. Are you saying this is somehow a bad thing?
They do have Low Power Mode, which kinda does that now.
So you made the world a slightly worse place today and you came here to boast about it?

We did indeed dodge a bullet, but in doing so we might have stepped into the path of a missile.
That's about the most wrong thing yet written.
What I wrote was correct. What you wrote was wrong. And then when you still failed to understand you called me a moron.

That's a saying?
For sufficiently large values of "overnight".
True, they took the money. But they didn't run.
