Not at all. The timing on this was perfect.

Today is a holiday, so there is no trading... but it is a weekday so the press will have this thing over and done by the end of today. Tomorrow it is old news.

Tomorrow is also their earnings announcement. That will have a bigger impact on the stock than Steve taking time off.

Tomorrow they will talk about Mac App store results, 10 billion apps sold, Verizon estimates and drop hints about revenue from their new products in 2011 (iPad 2 etc).

This was well planned.
