Steve Jobs, the Rachel Zoe of Silicon Valley?

Apple Jobs_mini.jpg

Though not nearly as important as Rachel Zoe (obvi), Apple CEO Steve Jobs is facing some of the same criticism as Hollywood's most stylish heroine, namely his pin-thin stature. "I probably need to gain about 30 pounds," Steve Jobs told the New York Times after his Norma Desmond-like comeback at yesterday's iPod Nano reveal. And, yes, for better or for worse, Jobs looked rail-thin. But the reaction on Wall Street, where Apple stock ebbs and flows depending on Jobs' perceived health, is the reaction that matters. Valleywag pointed out today, "Such is the demanding CEO's importance to Apple, and shareholders must now weigh Jobs' still-gaunt look and scratchy voice against his characteristically enthusiastic delivery." Did anyone attend yesterday's Jobsian revival? If so, how did he sound?

He looked and sounded like someone who just had a liver transplant.

When Steve Jobs took back Apple the stock was trading at $16/share. Around 2000 or so.

He oversaw the release of the iMac, iPod and iTunes.
Been to an iStore lately?
Yeah, his idea too. Retail outlets.

I sold at $115.

Thanks Steve.

Apple will die soon after Jobs does.

Sorry.

Fact.

Who or what is this Rachel Zoe you are referring to?

Just so you can say that you heard it here first; when Jobs finally comes clean about the whole "death spiral thing" and steps aside, AAPL will plummet to $65/share.

$58 on the dead cat bounce. $74 once it settles. $65-ish until they find another CEO.

It could be 3 years and much pain before they get Woz to come out of retirement and right the ship.
