Lazy Apple Bias

Phillip Elmer-DeWitt:

Student activists at Harvard University like to pore over the quarterly filings of the Harvard Management Company for investments they find politically incorrect — like Smith & Wesson (gun manufacturer) or Vale S.A. (Brazilian mining).

But when someone at Bloomberg News opened Harvard’s latest SEC 13F what jumped out at them was the first line of the form: The sale of 100% of the university’s holdings in Apple (AAPL).

Crappy journalism.
