An apple a day not working... Jobs overlooked on our list for 2011

Apple Shares Fall 4.7% Premarket As Jobs Takes Medical Leave

Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares fell 4.7% in premarket trading Tuesday, erasing about $15 billion in market value, after the consumer electronics company disclosed that Chief Executive and company visionary Steve Jobs would take another medical leave.

Few CEOs have been as closely linked to his company's success as Jobs has, and some say his presence is reflected in Apple's stock price. Others, though, argue that any such premium was washed out during his last leave two years ago, and that the stock's surge since January 2009--shares have nearly quadrupled--is based on the company's strength in the market and balance sheet.

Apple is now the world's most valuable technology company with a market cap of about $321 billion, as of the close Friday, according to FactSet Research, and will likely remain above Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) despite the stock declines Tuesday.

In premarket trading, shares of the Cupertino, Calif., company recently fell 4.7% to $332.16. Based on that price, the stock remains up 3% this month from its 2010 close of 322.56 and the company carries a market cap of $304.69 billion.

Jobs's leave comes as the stock ended on another all-time high Friday. Apple shares, up 66% over the past 12 months, have rallied due to the success of its iPad tablet, expectations surrounding the Verizon Wireless iPhone and increased sales of its Mac computers, which last week were named the fastest-growing PCs in the U.S.

Evidence of Apple's recent success is expected after the bell when the company reports its fiscal first-quarter earnings. Analysts, on average, expect Apple's per-share earnings to rise 47% to $5.40 as revenue increases 56% to $24.43 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.

The 55-year-old's leave shouldn't derail the company's current momentum, analysts say, but could have longer-term implications.

I played Jobs a couple of years ago, but he seemed to have turned the corner so I dropped him from my list. He's always lurking on the "backup" list, though.

Look for the Apple iPancreas coming out very soon.

Pancreatic Cancer? There's no app for that.

He's gone from push-ups to pushing up daisies.

[Merlot Joe]

No more jumping jacks for Jack.

[Chicago Jake]

I just read an article about him a month ago, and considered putting him on the A-list. But then I thought, nah, this dude will NEVER die!

That's what I get for thinking! RIP, Jack; you rock........Jake

PS - Congrats to NOLA for getting the first stiff of the year!
