shares were going to drop anyway, because they are inflated. I see so much speculation here. We have no idea what's going on. Give it a rest.
get well soon, mr jobs! we all know you're a fighter - keep at it!
on a slightly cynical side note, (but important for me, since some of my student financing is saved in apple stock) thank god the nasdaq is closed today!

the only reason that I mentioned the stock is to show that this wasn't a sudden thing and has most likely been planned for some time. I mean
has planned for some time how to announce this so it would hurt their stocks the least. And I really hope that Steve Jobs is okay and will come back to Apple soon.Isn't the market closed today? If we pretend for a second that he's just a CEO (not a human), this is serious news for lots of us sharesholders. I wish I could get out *now*, honestly, though I imagine Apple's strong enough to pick back up a bit in the next month.
From a crassly pure economic point of view, I'd see the price tank and then recover over the next month (thanks to Verizon, etc; Jobs isn't stupid about picking this time). But if Jobs tanks, the bottom falls out until Cook et al can prove their mettle, in which I have almost no real confidence.
You can't replace Jobs. His personality precludes another strong willed successor from serving with him. Ives isn't a CEO.
That said, for his own sake, I'll add that I hope Jobs gets better and stays away.
Get well soon, Steve.
A question to all:
Does this mean, we are going to get an iPhone 3Gs like product this year?
I don't mean to be acting bad as I know steve ain't well but apart from that without any selfish interest, I just want to know if steve is going to let Tim Cook do the honours.

His appearance reminds me of someone who is HIV+, but people that can afford the meds these days can live with it just fine. (see Magic Johnson) If I had to guess I'd think its related to complications stemming from the transplant.
I really hope he pulls through alright.

God doesn't exist, so I can't tell him to bless you Steve. But I wish you the very best of luck in defeating your health problems.
Wouldn't that be nice? But at the same time, I don't see many posting on these boards about 13 murders in 12 days in Prince George's county.
That is to say, stock is a big reason people like me follow rumors sites. Stock is a big reason Jobs announced his leave now (with Verizon sales to support the stock price).
He's a life, but he's also a CEO. I think it's fair game to talk about both.
Sorry to say, but I'll be selling all shares at open and going short. I remember what happened last time Steve left Apple. Oh well, it was a good run while it lasted.
