Trying to control stocks in the short term is for suckers and idiots, and also it is not possible. Steve Jobs will die. Any sentient being buying the stock knows that; factor it in to your purchasing decisions.

The point being if he was secretly sick and about ready to die, Apple not saying anything would amount to fraud. Of course he'll die, but there's a difference between randomly being hit by a bus and knowing about a deadly disease for a year without any disclosure. There's room for improvement for the regulation in this space, but it's a sad reality. Luckily this doesn't appear to be the case.
