Market call:AAPL will go UP
Target: $160.00 on 10/02/09
Current: $199.92 (42.78% from time of market call)

With all the press recently regarding Steve Jobs and his health, and the sudden absence of Jobs early this year through now, Apple's leadership is a bit rocky. You have to understand Apple is not just a product to people, its a lifestyle. Jobs is seen by many as the leader of this order, and when he is absent, Apple's stocks tend to waiver a bit. Apple must address this issue in the third quarter of this year, and when it does, I expect to see Apple back up into the $160+ range and maybe back towards $200.

Steve Jobs is an important fixture in the aaple industry however investor really need to make sure that he is not made as demigod and breathes in life to the company. I agree with ya.

The problem is most people perceive Jobs as the person who breathes life into Apple, they see him as the innovator and big driver in their new businesses. A lot of people think that a Jobs-less Apple would not be as innovative as it is. Management is always priced into a stock and without Jobs Apple's stock will not climb back up.
