Possibly, but I think a lot of his decision is family driven.

Oh yeah. He wouldn't leave otherwise... I heard something to the effect of he would step away only if he could no longer contribute...well, the gist of it sounds like he is forced to do this.

He did an amazing job turning them from a company that many didn't think would be around much longer to the most valuable company in the world.

So in a few months we get to see nyc brag about how his new apple stuff is.

Apple has already lost about 6% of its market share after hours. Down $22+!!

Exactly.

Good time to buy in.

Guaranteed SJobs surround himself with people that share his vision. I wouldn't be surprised if he had the next 50 years plotted out.

The AAPL ecosystem is too large. They put out good hardware. I'm actually excited to see what the future holds.

Umm what? You do know he lead Apple before right? He then left and the company tanked. You conveniently forget all of that history?

You might have only been about 3 yrs old. I dont know.
