Looking at this in a financial perspective. Is the resignation of Steve Jobs the best time to buy Apple stocks? As i'm doubting the stocks will drop any further in the near future.
There really hasn't been a bad time to buy AAPL in the last 10 years. Future is uncertain but it still looks bright for AAPL.
The issue is how much higher can the stock go before crashing back down to earth. You buy today then you'll need to hope that apple's performance can drive the price even higher. I'm no investing guru but I do know what goes up must come down. I'd personally stay away from apple stock at the price its trading at now.
