Steve Jobs Taking Medical Leave

Steve Jobs communicated with Apple employees today he was taking a medical leave of absence until June. He will remain involved in major decisions. This comes a week after Jobs told investors he was being treated for a simple to treat hormone imbalance. This health pattern doesn't sound good. Apple stock is down 6% after hours from the news. As important as Jobs is to Apple I still believe the company has become greater than Jobs himself. "The Street" won't understand or respond that way however. Speedy recovery, Steve!
