The market is not liking Job's health is "a private matter".
And we all know what Steve Jobs thinks about the market.

Good money can often be made by going against conventional wisdom. Think about it.
I did in 1997 when I bought AAPL. I'm not sure buying MSFT is "going against conventional wisdom" though. I just don't see the point. What is new and potentially exciting in Microsoft's future? Where is the upside potential?
I wonder if one of those new products could be a midtower? A budget machine would be a great addition considering the current economy.
Except that it would never be allowed by the antitrust folks.
- Significant interest in Enterprise adoption for the iPhone 3G.
That's exactly the point.
You don't have to have something new and exciting when you have $20+ billion in earnings per year and a stock that has stagnated for a decade. Eventually any company, no matter how boring, can be undervalued. I know that can be tough for an investor or fan of Apple to understand, but even the evil empire can be undervalued.
There will definitely be another time for owners of MSFT to be glad they're there. Remember, earning 12% per year will make you rich, very rich. And Apple, no matter how much people around here hope, will not earn investors 50% per year in perpetuity.
In fact Microsoft basically had to pay to keep Apple afloat after Spindler and Amelio drove the company into the ground just to keep the Justice Department off their backs. I bet they wish they propped up Amiga now.

Does anyone have the podcast for Apple 2nd quarter 2008 Conference Call that they could post on the web and send me a link to download.
1.0 EPS Guidance...
Apple needs to let go from these ridiculously low estimates for their quarters.
Everybody knows this by now and expects them to beat by far anyway... it tanks the stock every freakin time.
In addition, it overshadows the actual quarter results by far.
As a stockholder, this makes me crazy.
Maybe congress will levy a windfall profits tax?Apple posted... net quarterly profit of $1.07 billion
