As far as what the general public and especially what the shareholders are perceiving, check out the volume of shares sold off yesterday. It was double the usual volume and went down about 2-3 %.
Hopefully this is a trend that will not continue.
I had shares and sold them a couple of weeks ago. I don't like all of the rumors and no hard facts about SJ health.
I wish him only the best and hope he will be around for many years to come, but from the photos of recent, I don't think he is too healthy.
It's a fairly understandable chain of progression given that it IS public knowledge that Steve had a liver transplant.

I just looked at that thread from 2 years ago I was told to view. The photo shown there is not one of a man about to die yet some were concerned.
Looking at the photo in 2008 I see a man who has lost some weight but I am guessing it was less to do with Cancer and more to do with a healthier diet if he is on a macrobiotic diet as some have said?
In fact in that photo he reminds me of a runner.
There isn't any of that look I have seen with terminally ill cancer patients.
Not in the 2008 photo that i just looked at it.
In fact, I think hes a rather good looking man as he gets older...
And thats not said in hindsight.
There is no disguising the photos released last week, unfortunately!!!

Any idea how what happened with the shares in 2008 after the release of the photo I speak of in 2008?
On this page? Steve. Are you ok?
( again I say he looked quite healthy in this photo despite what he was battling at the time )
The shares were about $139 in June 09' and now are around $349. That's a 150 % return from then to now. I don't think that the shares will do as good over the next couple of years, but who knows? They may even do better. All I know is that my investment did great.
My question is what if SJ isn't around. Can the remaining big boys at Apple fill Steve's shoes?
That stock jump was likely due to the arrival of the iPad and the iPhone 3Gs if not iPhone 4 so I am not really surprised. Or, at least I am assuming so but there might be more to it???
Aside from the iPhone Nano which I keep hearing about which might bring to Apple a core of users that would not have purchased the full iphone I am not sure Id be holding on to a stock portfolio but then I am stock holder do dont take my advice
iPhone Nano is an urban myth. The firm factor is already ideal. Why would you want a smaller screen for typing? And kids who prefer to text or not going to want something voice-activated.

I hadn't really given it any thought as i am an iphone 4 owner and a nano if they were to have made one wasn't on my mind but i have seen so many blogs talk about it.
That said, your comments make sense so i wont be surprised never to see one on the market
Its well known unfortunately that the type of cancer he has is always fatal.
Patients are never given more than 5 years at the very most.
Patrick Swayze tried very hard to convince the public that he was going to be the one that beat the odds and made it past 5 years but I seem to recall offhand that he passed away at the 3 1/2 year mark.
He too was working up to the very end.
I am sorry the man is ill but I am surprised at the number of people in denial here about the fatality rate of this kind of cancer.
Yes, but did the liver transplant not get rid of all the cancerous cells?
Also, if SJ dies would it not be awesome if the Woz took the reigns? It's not unlikely and I'm positive he would, after all he founded Apple.
