Steve Jobs was quite possibly one of the two leading innovators and entrepreneurs of our times.  He and Bill Gates together helped shape the world as we know it, today… It almost goes without saying that he will be missed.

Because of that, there have been, I’m sure, many, many blog posts eulogizing Mr. Jobs around the world.  That’s not my reason for writing this post.

In the last month and a-half, I have noticed again and again visitors coming to Penny Stock Prophet Success asking the question that I’ve made the title of this post: “What Will Apple Do Now That Steve Jobs Is Dead?”

It is a reasonable question and one that needs to be answered.  There are three things that need to be addressed in so far as that question goes:

1. How strong is Apple and is that strength likely to remain?
2. Will Apple continue its incredible price performance?
3. What can you do?

How strong is Apple and is that strength likely to remain?

At the time that I’m writing this, Apple is in good shape.  They have one of the strongest balance sheets around and the product mix is full and successful.

Some balance sheet stats:

• PE (Trailing 12-months) – 13.61
• PE (Future) – 10.91
• Price to Book – 4.56
• Book Value per Share: $82.64
• Cash & Investments (approx. 9/2011) – $82 billion

Current product mix:

• Mac and Accessories
• iPad
• iPhone
• iTunes
• MacBook
• AppleTV
• Software

Right now, Apple is in very decent if not excellent shape.

I don’t think that that will be the case for very long… with all due respect to the Analysts who predict a rosy future for Apple, their chief innovator and the driving force of the company just died.  And, unless they have another Steve Jobs hiding somewhere in their organization; by the way, I am not a licensed financial advisor, stock broker or other licensed profession; and other than a drivers license and a pilot license, I have no licenses at all)… Anyway, It is my personal opinion that we will see this:

• The product mix will begin to degenerate because they don’t have any visionary innovator anymore.  Don’t believe me?  Just look at Apple’s history itself with and without Mr. Jobs.  Or, look at Microsoft.  The stock price hasn’t moved significantly in years.  They will try a few new products that will flop or at best be big yawns.
• Their cash/investment position will gradually degrade as launch after launch begins to exhaust the coffers.
• The spark of Innovation the gives great freedom in market price selection will vanish. And, because of that, my next item in this list:
• The major competitors like Motorola (Droid™), Samsung (Galaxy™) and Blackberry (Torch™)  will have an Apple with their lunch.
• They will no longer be innovation cash driven but Apple’s balance sheet & P&L will become a sorry mix of struggling price performance, over extended cash flow and loans.

Will Apple continue its incredible price performance?

I think that you only need to look at Apple’s price performance with and without Steve Jobs to figure out what’s going to happen with Apple long term..

• Because of the deteriorating balance sheet, their per share price will plummet and probably return to pre-2010 levels. Any stock market crash factors will only serve to increase the acceleration of the share price fall.
• The “go-go days” for apple computer’s price performance are over.

What If It Isn’t Too Late For You?

When Apple first went public… Way back when… It didn’t cost a whole lot to buy a share or even a hundred shares of that delicious, succulent fruit. It was a bit green then but imagine how it tastes now… At $500 or so per share.

What would have happened if you had bought a couple hundred shares, or maybe a even couple thousand shares the day of its first IPO?

If you had held on to it through the years you might be sitting in a beach chair at the Atlantis Resort right now sucking a cool one as you contemplate what you want to do today… Scuba diving, wind surfing or sailing, anyone?

Not a totally disagreeable thought, is it?

But what if it isn’t too late to get your own shot at a brass ring on the merry-go-round of YOUR LIFE. What if there is still a chance for you to make it big…

… An actual chance at the brass ring: Would you risk it or would you rather stay on your 40/50/40 and out plan (40 hours per week for 50 weeks per year for 40 years) or your 40/50/’til you drop dead and out plan… which would YOU prefer?

I’m serious, which would YOU prefer?

What do you think I did? Here’s a hint…

… I now sit in my home office all day, every day that I want to actually work; developing websites and marketing campaigns because I love doing that a whole lot better than what I used to do. And, I get to share my knowledge, help other people make money and even make more money than I already have.

I love doing that. It’s fun for me.

If you would like to do what is fun for you, for the rest of your life, then you need to set a goal and go for it.  All you need to do is to make a decision to do whatever it takes, so long as it’s legal, moral and ethical, to achieve that objective.

Personally, I like Options and Penny Stocks.  But, this decision is about you…

… What would you chose?

Now most investors consider penny stocks a very high-risk way to make money… In other words you may lose big time. But, on the flip-side, you can earn tremendously high returns in a very short period of time. The risk versus the totally incredible potential earnings are what keep investors trading penny stocks.

I’m a flip-side man myself…

… And, that said, here are 9 Great Reasons why I think that you will want to buy a lifetime membership in Penny Stock Prophet:

1. The Penny Stock Prophet himself makes each of his stock picks based upon the Secret Formula that he discovered while in college… You can have confidence in the knowledge that each stock pick is based upon his experience and genius and not a decision made by some impersonal, incompetent ” Stock Market Robot” or, worse yet, the “Dartboard Behind The Office-Door Method.”
2. James Connelly, the Penny Stock Prophet, does the research on all the companies that he recommends… You don’t need to be a stock market genius to find the right stock picks… He does it for you.
3. The Penny Stock Prophet will send you an email when James Connelly makes a new stock pick… You don’t need to worry about missing out on a single MONSTER Pick because you didn’t check his website every day.
4. The Penny Stock Prophet’s notification e-Mail with James Connelly’s latest stock pick lays out all of the pertinent financial information about the company… You won’t need to spend days or even hours verifying that the company is in good condition before you buy.
5. The Penny Stock Prophet Recommendation Service “vets” the company being recommended. You don’t need to worry about the company being a scam… You can have the confidence that each company that the Penny Stock Prophet recommends is legitimate.
6. James Connelly gives you the information that you need to make an informed decision about his penny stock picks… And that means you can determine if a stock pick is right for you.
7. The Penny Stock Prophet figures out the timing for when you should buy his recommendation… And that frees you from the need to guess about the best time to buy his latest stock pick.
8. James Connelly keeps you informed with eMails about the success of his recommended stock picks… You don’t need to sit and watch the “Market” all day… unless, of course, you want to .
9. The Penny Stock Prophet normally doesn’t tell you when to sell, only when to buy… No recommendation’s stock price will crash because he told everyone to sell at the same time!

So, what do you think… Are you ready to give it a try and take a shot at your First Million Bucks?

But, If you’re still not sure that this is something that you really want to do, let me sweeten the offer a bit.

And, I expect that you’ve probably come across other bonus packages before and that you recognize that a lot of them just flat out suck. Rather than giving you valuable information they just shovel a load of B.S. your way that they downloaded for free or at very little cost from the internet, edited it a little bit so it sounded like their work and gave it to you as something “valuable.”

Then, they attach a ridiculous, made up value… Something like a “$99 US dollar value” or, worse yet, a “$499 USD value” to the item and then they try to sucker you into buying because of the imaginary value they lied about and said the item was worth…
