Surprising he passed so soon. We knew he was very sick since he resigned as CEO last month, but he stayed on as Chairman and as a board member. I half expected to see him do the iPhone presentation yesterday, but of course he didn't. RIP Steve Jobs. A job well done indeed.
I wish I owned more than a few shares of AAPL. The stock dropped a few points last month when he resigned as CEO, then rebounded to over 400. It has dropped to ~375 this week on the iPhone 4S release and other non news. His death won't be a positive, but it won't have much of a short term impact either. Longer term, we don't know.
