I look at Apple stock and it keeps climbing over the last year, and I wonder: Why didn't I buy some stock a year ago?Dang!!
Does anybody have a feeling about what it will do in the next year? I know that I've seen reports of Steve Jobs seriously ill, and I wonder how that would impact their stock if he has to step down for health reasons?
Just wondering and pondering, not necessarily looking for official advice....

Appleheads really put a lot of stock (heh) into the Founder...
If he steps down or checks out, I would guess that stock would drop. How long it takes to climb back up depends upon sales numbers and how the Appleheads view the new leader.
It really is a bit of a cult of personality with that outfit.

It could actually go up under new leadership. Apple has long been very insular and proprietary. I could see them developing profitable licensing schemes for builders of clone machines and porting OS X to other platforms. Would they ever do it? I don't know. Depends on if their stockholders are as Fanboy-ish as their customers.
