Apple Options Rumors: Getting to the Core

David: Agree on your article, but be fair to this analyst who said on CNBC this morning that the AAPL folks have managed to spin bad news as good. I think that CEO Steve Jobs will be forced to step down. As the SEC disclosure stated: "Although the investigation found that CEO Steve Jobs was aware or recommended the selection of some favorable grant dates, he did not receive or financially benefit from these grants or appreciate the accounting implications." Sounds to me like a deliberate violation of law and regulation.
