I have to admit, I agree with Nicholas that Jobs health is absolutely an issue for the stock. Apple tends to underpromise and overperform.

I second Arthurs comment – the stock price going down has everything to do with Apple’s slashing their forcasts and nothing to do with Job’s health.

But – hey – when you don’t understand the stock market or business might as well go for idle rumors and speculation which is what you guys are good at …

selling toys (even the best toys) ain’t easy in a global recession- especially one with rising input costs that you can’t pass along… 32x P/E ratio still seems fancy in this environment

Or, it could be that Apple is slashing it’s forecasted margins for Q408? Maybe that has something to do with it?
But hey, his health brings in more readers.
Carry on.
