Sounds like a great time to buy then if the market is over-reacting to news.

When does the market not overreact to news? (Answer: when it's actually good news but hard to comprehend.)

When it under reacts?

Try this strategy on a historical price and news database:

  1. Wait for the initial over reaction
  2. Trade
  3. Wait for a period
  4. Reverse the trade

Only if Jobs recovers...

I hope he does. Like laujen pointed out, our world would be far less interesting without him.
