Even death is subject to redundant engineering
Death may be, but shareholder opinion isn't.
No matter how thoroughly Steve Jobs engineers his own departure, the stock will still tank the day he leaves.

- mkr-hn 16y agoIsn't there a shortlist of people who could take the company over without much disruption? I would be surprised if Steve Jobs hadn't been working on training a successor.
- Tichy 16y agoIf you believe that, you can probably make a killing with Apple stock on that day (provided you are right).
- anamax 16y agoIt will take longer than a day for the stock market to figure that the new gal is as good as Jobs, so you can delay your buy for a while.
- Someone 16y agoSuch a shortlist may exist, but even if the guy taking over were as good as Steve, I doubt that the stock market would be smart enough to know that. So yes, the stock would take a hit.
