re: Apple is approaching $400....would you buy it before earnings?

Nice thoughts so far in this thread, I always learn from the experts on this board.

I was lucky enough to buy Apple before the last split at ~$40 and thought I would hold it for 20 years. Outside of reasons based on fundamentals or analysis, I sold because naming an operations manager as CEO of such an innovative company sent the wrong signal and wouldn't work long term. He's a career supply chain guy and he's probably damn good at it, but that's the opposite end of the spectrum from the leader that AAPL needs.

I hope to buy again at some point, but not while Cook is at the helm.
