A couple of thoughts: (confession: I own 200 shares at 86 bucks)
1. Steve is the guru of the company, maybe a control freak, but he wouldn't hire a bunch of schlumps to work for him. Some of them must have been innovative and brilliant over the years.....and maybe will be even more so without him hovering. Was he honest about his health? Dunno...I have a friend who was quite well a few weeks ago and now is in hospice care for pancreatic cancer. Some illnesses can creep up on you quickly. Maybe he was as honest as he could be - or maybe not.
2. I have a friend who was recently at MacWorld and said it was amazing, the company - amazing, the products...you guessed it, amazing. Does that all slip away even if Steve is sick or worse?
3. Jobs lived on the edge. Maybe this will give his employees some edge time. They may not have the same panache as Steve, but that's ok. I'm sure they want the company to do well as they must have plenty 'o shares of AAPL.
There's more....but I'm sure some of you will add to the list. And please...no AAPL to $10!
