Michael wrote yesterday about Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ: AAPL) announcement of newer iPods plus a major update for the iTunes music/TV/movie store -- and how the market seemed to not care about anything other than the health of Apple CEO Steve Jobs. I say, enough already -- can the analysts and pundits get off Jobs' case and let the man lead his company without distraction?This seems more like checkout line magazine idiocy and entertainment smut more than anything. Instead of talking about Apple's growing dominance in the cellphone, PC and music marketplaces (where it is incredibly strong already), the
It's true that not one executive on this planet embodies a company like Jobs does to Apple. That's the trick -- but that doesn't mean Apple would implode five years after Jobs leaves (when he does, by any method). Although Jobs looked gaunt yesterday when introducing all these new products, he was energetic (very much so) and continued to decline comment on his health. Get over it, folks. Let's talk about Apple's business prospects and results, not about the health of its evangelical founder and CEO.

I agree Brian. What I do wonder is that when investors panic and drive the stock price down over some spurious report of Steve Jobs' death, WHICH investors are panicking? Is it the individual investor or the large institutional investor, or both? It's that kind of market behavior that makes me want to get the heck out of stocks because you never know when the lemmings will run next and kill my portfolio. Then again it does sometimes create some good buy opportunities, but I'm not a day-trader.
