At Netflix, the milestone we celebrated was subscriber numbers, since that is what drove the business. Someone once asked our CEO why we didn't have a holiday party, and he said in effect that he'd rather celebrate important business milestones, and not a day on the calendar.
It's interesting to me that Mr. Cook is downplaying this, but it makes some sense, since the price of the stock (and therefore the valuation) is only loosely tied to the success of the company.
It seems like the CEOs who really know what they are doing choose their celebrations carefully.

A good lesson to learn here.
