NY Post raises pre-financials Steve Jobs health scare - 9to5Mac

The New York Post has set out more concern this morning at the health of Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Market manipulation? You be the judge. Apple's stock is significantly down on the news. Apple will reveal its quarterly results during a conference call this afternoon at 2pm (PDT), but, according to the report, people meeting him in recent weeks appear concerned at his "thin appearance". "Apple's hedge fund investors are very worried," a Wall Street source who has spoken with some of the company's stakeholders told the newspaper. Concerns at the health of the Apple co-founder emerged last month after a thinner-looking Jobs took to the stage at WWDC to introduce the iPhone 3G. Responding to these concerns, Apple later said Jobs had been suffering from a "common bug", from which he was expected to make a full recovery, blaming his weight loss on the antibiotics he had to take.
