    That was not Bill's fault, the drama queen started after Bill left, it was like he was suppressing his true character until he was confirmed as TOP guy.

    But if the price was that high, they would not have split 9 times and there would not be 8billion shares outstanding.

    If it was $200, there would likely be ~1-2 billion shares max.

    Here is where I think you are an idiot. You would have to be a fool to deny that Apple was on the verge of closing its doors and was saved by Steve Jobs returning the company.



    Also how would you have any clue what he did or didn't do on medical leave, or how involved he was while recovering?



    Yeah a real troll comments on what a great job Steve Jobs has done saving the company. Yep thats a typical troll statement.

    It was stated that SJ was kept abreast of all key decisions during his medical leave, he may not have been at Apple, but he was still kept informed of all major developments.



    Yes you are correct, it is assumption that Apple will fall down, when Steve leaves since it has not happened as yet and no knows, except for 'I speculate more than Day trader' extremeskater.

    I don't know Ballmer was with Microsoft pretty much from the start. I guess it could have happened that way.



    Not like it hasn't happened before look at what jeff immelt had done after taking over for Jack Welch. I thank the Lord I sold my GE Stock at 65 a long time ago.

    It was just a nice comment. Doesn't have to mean anything, other than it was a nice comment.

    No one is attempting to speculate anything. The fact is Apple had major problems before the return of Steve Jobs and clearly he saved the company. Steve Jobs also didn't fall into a black cave that was sealed off from the world while on medical leave and was clearly involved with Apple while recovering.



    Its also not far stretch to say Apple stock could be hurt as well as the company when Steve Jobs leaves.



    Its not like there wasn't major concerns surrounding his health issues.

    Because some people are convinced that if Steve is gone it's the end for Apple. That's not true. Apple has Tim Cook, Ive, Forstal and others. Apple will be just fine, maybe even better without Steve who knows.

    Well he certainly has created legion of cultists, not that that would apply to anyone on here.

    ...

    Indeed, Bill Gates has some fabulous strengths and good qualities, but he's not well adjusted enough for me to call him "classy".



    How about "he's not unclassy"? (as in he's not "Balmeresque")

    One thing is to be kept in the loop vs doing the same work he did before taking medical leave. Major organ transplantation, health issues? Doesn't ring a bell?



    Make up your mind and don't ge back to us.

    Who has said its going to be the end of Apple? My comment before was history has proven that Apple has done poorly without Steve Jobs.
