Marchers in more than 400 cities across 52 countries took part in protests against Monsanto (MON) today, calling attention to what they say are dangers posed by genetically modified foods. Monsanto is "poisoning our children, poisoning our planet," claims one of the organizers. The company says its seeds help farmers produce more from their land while conserving resources such as water and energy. [View news story]
I am too busy choking on the jet fumes left behind by Al Gore's private plane to contemplate MON poisoning food.

You are working hard at creating your own reality. Very altruistic and full of warm fuzzies. It is just not real.
If you don't believe that the owners are where the CEO is focused then go work for a privately owned business and tell them that you are too focused on other things to take care of their needs. It is the same dynamic. You will be fired before your words stop echoing around the room.

US companies have been manufacturing outside the US going back close to 100 years.
Outside of better economics the most compelling reason now is the connection to other markets. The vast majority of the world's population resides outside the US. It will be extremely rare in the future for any global company to only have manufacturing in the US.
Never mind the fact that many people in and out of government in the US are hostile to companies and other countries roll out the welcome mat.
Stay in the US and get persecuted or go abroad? Hmmmmmm.
"Apple's (AAPL) sorta cheap," says Jeff Gundlach, admitting he's now long the stock he famously shorted 100-200 points ago. He doesn't seem terribly excited about the company's business prospects, but - selling for 7x earnings (excluding cash) - a hot new product isn't necessary to make the investment profitable. "(Apple) can keep selling a whole bunch of expensive new phones and iPads, and they'll be a cash cow." [View news story]
Boo hoo hoo!
How anyone can like your lame and bitter comment is pathetic. Gundlach is sharp and he does not need a bunch of stupid sheep to make money. In fact the retail investor has been out of this market. He has other fool professional investors that are making the wrong moves every day.
At the end of the day he is placing a bet. He could be wrong and those other fool professionals will laugh all the way to the bank.

If Apple was really smart they would have had a nice young pretty lady from the Irish government sitting next to them so the Congressmen would know that they were blasting someone real they have to look in the eye not a faceless enemy. It's amazing how the rhetoric changes when it is face to face.

Only the rule of law will prevent government from robbing companies and that may not be enough. Ironically if they rob companies it really will come from consumers in the end.

From your perspective it appears that you believe the USA owns Apple. Well someone should tell the other countries around the world where Apple operates and sells their products. That is a massively distorted view brought on by cynical and devious politicians in WDC followed by gullible people in the general populace.

Apple has billions overseas. This government needs trillions. All this talk of repatriation is not going to solve the fundamental dislocations of this economy and crazy spending. What will help create growth in this country is lower taxes and certainty neither of which WDC wants to give anyone.

You are a dreamer and a real cherry picker when you use Steve Jobs as an example for anything representative of a typical CEO.
I am speaking from real experience. Good luck with your alternate universe.

The CEO is focused on the shareholders because they own the company and he/she answers to them. End of story.
The other parties are important to the CEO to the extent they are important to the shareholders but independently they are not important.
Breaking the law is a false choice.
