Analysts Disagree Over Whether Steve Jobs Will Present at September Media Event

[TheSlush]

I have a gut feeling Steve wants to step away from Apple sooner than later; focus on his health, his family, those things he neglected whilst returning Apple to the forefront of the industry (in many ways).

Steve retire????????

Never gonna happen.

When he finally does keel over, it will be mid-yell during some brainstorming meeting at 1 Infinite Loop.

(May that day be a long time coming.)

I vote that Macrumors starts a new section called 'lol @ analysts'.

I wholeheartedly second that.

If he does present, I hope it's because he wants to . . . and not because he feels he has to appease the investors.

 

[twoodcc]

i personally hope that he is there. and i think he will be

When Steve Takes The Walk Down Out Of Mount Apple...

I sometimes wonder exactly what being an analyst entails. Are most of us analyzing on here without the salary?

Yes. And with at least as much or more accuracy....

 

[MacFly123]

I wholeheartedly second that.

These analysts are really so stupid! What do they get paid for again? They are usually wrong and just end up tanking Apple's stock because their predictions are so stupid. I bet Steve and Apple hate them!

I don't expect to see Steve. I think he will lay low and then give a keynote next year to introduce his Tablet!

This cult of personality ***** has really gotten out of hand. I hope there isn't a Jonestown scene when the messiah ascends into the sky.

If Steve Jobs isn't at the media event, I will go back to Windows!!!!1!!

Apple just won't be the same without him.




Actually, I could really care less if he presents or not. It would be nice, but not necessary.

If we do see Jobs, hopefully he'll look a little less gaunt.

Very good. Why do so many think Jobs just wants privacy? He creates as much mystery as he can to create as much buzz and speculation as possible.

I see him drifting down from the vaulted ceiling, a beatific look on his face. Down below, the multitudes prostrate themselves and faint. He pulls out a new iPod and outlines the benefits of its new $4.78 camera.

On the screen behind him there are colorful HD views of happy attractive young people partying in a wholesome way, all playing with their iPods.

Actually, this is just one of Job's ideas. He may not show up at all.

Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, who predicts that Jobs will take the stage to unveil new iPods with digital cameras.

Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu, who does not see Jobs heading up next Wednesday's event.

One right, one wrong.!!!!
