I appreciate the market's crude honesty in evaluating the business impact of events, and I understand why a drop would happen. However, I hope that people aren't evaluating the business impact of this information at 6B, and that it is only a sad coincidence.

Apple, among other tech companies, has been championing gay rights pretty publicly for a few years now. Also they've had quite a stance on renewable energy and rebuffed investors that were climate-change deniers.

I think the type of people that would boycott Apple over this, have already boycotted apple over the other things.

Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity. MSFT, FB, IBM, SAP, HP all seem to be down.
