Wow, this could change a lot of things. Historically when he's been with the company it has done well and when he hasn't it's slumped.

I think shares will drop for the next while.

*In other news Apple stock burst into flames*

I don't think Apple will have to worry too much. Steve hired some smart people.
Plus anything they release will sell well.

Yes, he has been for a while. I find it funny though that within a few hours of him resigning their stock went down significantly.

It's how it's always been. Historically he was the CEO and did rather well and then was forced out I believe. He then went to work for Pixar and IBM I think during which time they started to do well and Apple slumped. When he returned Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy and he managed to bring them out of it.

A lot of Apples success is credited, and rightly so, to Steve Jobs. With him still on the board though i think it should help but i'll be interested to see where they go next as a company.

I'm also looking forward to his biography which is coming out later this year. It's unique in the sense that the person writing it has full access to all of his papers and was also told go talk to these friends of mine, i've told them to talk to you, but he also said go talk to these people - they hate me though. It's also unique as he will have no input on what does and doesn't go into the book.

Should be a very interesting read and one i'm definitely looking forward to.

To be exact it dropped 5% and that's just from yesterday, not sure about today's numbers.

I didn't see this coming, this sucks. I'm not much of an Apple fan (Just b/c I have little to no experience with them, but wish I did) but yeah, I didn't expect this. From what I do know he was a brilliant mind and did amazing things for Apple.

IMO He's Apple's Bill Gates.
