I am an Apple shareholder and read the news hence the question asking if anyone knew if either Ivan or David had a connection to Tim Cook. I am the first to admit I am not up to date on all the things NTEK and its subsidiaries are now doing.
What I do know is that if by chance and I do know it would be a longshot,
Apple were to invest in either NTEK or NTGL the shorts would start covering because that investment would attract lots of other investors. Go NTEK!!!
