Being in a thankful mood,

I want to thank "owlears" for her thoughtful comment earlier today in another forum. When people were speculating that today Steve brought his family to the keynote to announce his retirement, she said she doubted he would do such a dumb grandstand move at that auspicious time (if he even is thinking about retirement). What a bummer that would have been! I must say I had a moment of fear before she brought me back to sanity,i.e., it made no sense.

I've often said that I am long AAPL for the foreseeable future EXCEPT if I thought he would quit, retire, get sick, or...get pushed out by the options backdating thingie. So, I stayed long and it's been quite a day.
