And if you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn I will sell you for a penny.
The sad but true reality is Jobs is in fact dying, you can tell by just looking at him. Sadly he is either delusional or both he and the company are so concerned about profit losses that they are lying to the public and their share holders in order to hide the truth.
Re: profit losses and hiding the truth
Baloney! Firstly, the criminal sanctions (up to 20 years imprisonment and multi-million dollar personal fines) for officers and Board members of publicly traded companies makes your theory a non-starter. Secondly, Apple’s profits have little to do with the value of their stock. If any Apple officer were party to such a cover-up, they’d essentially be stripped of the jobs, holdings, assets, and imprisoned The 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley law made sure of that.
For all of you that are hinting at AIDS, the hormonal imbalance is a side effect of the “Whipple” procedure surgery—where the cancerous portion of one’s pancreas is excised—which cured Jobs of the Pancreatic Cancer four years ago. AIDS is not in the picture.
I wouldn’t be so cynical.
Pancreatic cancer has traditionally been a death sentence but there have been advances in a road to a cure. I wish the man all good luck. He is a true American treasure ... a REAL innovator in a world that throws that word around lightly.
I don't know the truth here but Apple's stock (AAPL) has been bouncing around with every press release and rumor. They may well have decided to stabilize it for at least awhile by issuing this statement.
Apple was up 5% today as a result.
