What is not known how sick he is, and that's worrying investors in Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) this morning, as well as everyone else. Jobs had pancreatic cancer some years ago, but had a transplant and was able to return to work. The last time, gave him some sort of time frame for returning to work. This time, he did not.
It is assumed that the National Enquirer is set to run photos of the work with him for frail and emaciated. Jobs was seen leaving Stanford Cancer Center in Palo Alto, California, according to RadarOnline.com.
Neither the Enquirer or RadarOnline has a litmus test of jobs there, but does not mean he could not be there. The man is sick and is seeking treatment for it to return to work full time. He's still going to attend a meeting with President Obama today to discuss ways to innovate. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) CEO Eric Schmidt and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, will also attend. The meeting will be held at a private residence in San Francisco.
Apple shares have fallen 1.1% in pre-market trading, so that the street is giving some credence to this story, but not much. I suspect this will be much ado about nothing, unless we begin to hear that Apple will do strange things, like a massive buyback or something unusual.
Anyway, Steve Jobs has to get himself better and re-create the magic. We're all pulling for Steve.
