I’m not saying Al Gore is not a bright guy. But IMHO Al Gore is not a bright guy. If he invests $441,000 of his money in your company, do you care? Do you care where the money comes from to fund your innovation research?
Electronista reports:
A US Securities and Exchange Commission filing was made on Thursday, showing that Apple board member and former US Vice President Al Gore purchased 59.000 shares of Apple stock, currently worth over $29.6 million dollars. As a result of his board membership options, Gore paid $7.475 per share, paying $441,000 out of pocket for the shares.

AL Gore….AL Jazeera…….coincidence? I think not…..As far as Apple: Al Gore is on your Board of Directors, do you care? As to his investing, exercising the options at that value was a damn good deal……

No lie, Rob. That discount was a crazy good deal for him.
