Apple Inc. without Steve Jobs is like Berkshire without Buffett. It's eggs-benedict without the hollandaise. It's okay but lacks pazazz ..
Apple's vision and innovation is legendary; unusually fine dinner-conversation fare..Who can deny the remarkable transformation / impact the iPod, iPad, iPhone & Mac has had on our daily activities. Amazingly Apple's success is distilled down to the brilliance, ethos and extraordinary appetite for risk of one man, Steve Jobs. To make the assumption that Apple will continue to evolve with the same energy without Jobs, even in his new role as Chairman, seems fanciful. No doubt Apple has enough pipeline technology to carry it through for a few years. The question then would be whether Apple has the strategic ability to maintain momentum. Only time will tell.
It's a risk some investors might not like.
