Apple Shareholder Meeting is All Steve-talk

[JMcEntegart]

Earlier in the week reports emerged about Steve Jobs' absence at Apple’s annual shareholder meeting due to take place this week. While the meeting went ahead as planned, it seemed shareholders had little else to talk about other than the CEO’s health.

Jobs should permanently step down as CEO, instead of jst temperarily. Make him an one of the top guns but not the top gun. Apple needs someone new, with different, fresh ideas

If I were a shareholder I would be worried if the most pressing business was the discussion of one mans health. I realize some people put Jobs on a pedistal on the likes of Mohammad (There is only one Mac and Jobs is it's maker) but seriously now? These are grown men and women running a billion dollar company and THIS is what they discuss when they get together?

Want to know why I will not buy Apple stock? Exhibit A.

Steve cuts himself shaving and AAPL will fall three points. You want to know when Apple will consolidate into an iPhone/Pod based company? Just talk to an actuary about how long Steve has left to live.

I think that may be a bit pre-emptive. Though Jobs was rudely shut out during the Scully years, it says a lot for corporate vision that one of the two founders is still at the helm. When he leaves (if Apple is still viable at that time) it is going to take a stock hit that may take a while to recover if the new CEO proves him/herself. I guess maybe you could argue that TODAY with the market already in the toilet maybe it can't fall all that far.
