Full FeedDespite Jobs’ absence, Apple still prospers
When Steve Jobs first took his medical leave a few months ago, Apple shares dropped as the Internet went crazy with the story. However, these past couple months have been relatively quiet about it, partially due to respect for him and his families’ privacy. As Steve Jobs will be back soon, so is the news about him. Business Insider is reminding us that Apple’s stock is up 64% from when Jobs took his leave to around the $140 it was at the time that he left.
Even despite the economy and his absence, Apple is still doing fine. Many people may have felt that Steve was vital to Apple and that it would be impossible for them to continue with as much success without him. However, I think this six month leave was good for both the fans and the company. It showed that Apple can be just as successful without Steve while also allowing him to come back (soon) and see how it does with him again. It will be interesting to see what happens.
