I actually would speculate (but this is not advice and I won't bet on it) that Apple stock would be good to buy right now. The markets overestimate how important he is these days. The past half a year his successor has been essentially acting-CEO (and he's done this twice before when Jobs has been sick for an extended time). Jobs has essentially cultivated a culture, and while it will be a loss (although he still will be around as Chairman for a while and will I am sure still be giving input on big projects) it is far from the end of Apple as we know it.

We'll see how the next few days go. Even then an extra 2% is nice, and I personally wouldn't sell.

New CEO is thinking of rejoining the printer market.
Either there are going to be some overpriced devices that revolutionize the printer market or this is the last we've seen of Apple as a profitable company.

Basic supply/demand market pressures will stabilizes stock prices. For those interested in making money apple stock is not the one to invest in. They don't pay a dividend and honestly it is a minimal risk investment one should not expect large returns. For those interested in larger returns in the tech industry, go through FCC reports and try to identify the next big input. My largest return came from a company that is a manufacturer of NFC chips post Google Conference.
