Global Equities' Trip Chowdhry Blasts Apple Management: 'Cook Has Zero Vision/Zero Passion[Trunc]

Trip Chowdhry of Global Equities Research pulls no punches in his latest Apple Inc. AAPL 1.92%

In a recent note, Chowdhry called for the "completely clueless" Tim Cook to be replaced. He cited a culture of "bozos" at Apple destroying $486 billion in shareholder value under Cook's management.

Apple's PE multiple under Steve Jobs was consistently above the S&P 500 PE and above 20X according to Chowdhry. The S&P 500's current 20.5X PE dwarfs the 11.5X PE Apple generated under Tim Cook and Luca Maestri leadership. The lack of reward (positive yearly stock performance) is the market's way of telling Cook they will not support a distracted CEO. Chowdhry used Cook's Charlie Rose appearance debating taxation alongside Apple's decision to take on debt and tarnish "the once pristine Apple balance sheet" as examples of Cook's lack of focus on shareholder value. Chowdhry called the board of directors "callous" in their concern about the company PE multiple.

Of course Cook is a zero.

If he actually had any ideas on how to lead the company forward and any ideas on products, he wouldn’t have had to make a big deal about publicly announcing he was a homosexual.

Shouldn’t Apple have a higher PE because Cook is a gay?

Homosexuals are mentally unstable. Putting them in charge of anything has predictable outcomes when SJW is their management agenda.

Agree. OSX has managed to outbug Windows, and even though I have only have Apple machines, Cookdork has the technical ability of Al Gore and should be tossed immediately.

Apple w/o Steve Jobs is like the Galactic Empire without Palpatine. Eventually, both will implode.

Or initiate the construction of a new headquarters building that is designed to look like a gigantic glory hole.

Well, when the CEO is more concerned with homos rather than products and shareholder value, this is what happens.

Jobs was a malignant narcissist. What kind of second in command would such a person pick BUT a yes-man codependent? So why is it a surprise that now that he’s in charge, he can’t lead? He was never hired to lead in the first place. He was hired and raised because he was the best second banana Jobs could find to feed his narcissism. He’s highly competent when someone else is in charge, but that’s it.
