Not an AAPL for your health

Apple's stock is down by over 50% from its high this year.  One of the main reasons is that Steve Jobs's health is in question.  He battled pancreatic cancer a few years ago, which is one of the deadliest cancers.  

Earlier in December, Apple announced that the 2009 Macworld conference would be its last, and that Steve Jobs would not deliver a keynote, something he has done for quite some time.  

I am typing this note on an Macbook, so I have to say I do like Apple's products.  However, I would shy away from its stock right now, since a stray cough from Steve Jobs could send the price down 5%.
