Let's get real: In the long run, Apple (AAPL -1.6%) will not be the same company without Steve Jobs, Jeff Macke writes. Consider Microsoft's (MSFT) stock since Bill Gates left day-to-day operations in January 2000. From Henry Ford to Sam Walton to Howard Shultz, the history of companies after the departure of charismatic long-time leaders tends to be ugly.
I'll add another one: Gateway Computer crashed after its founder Ted Waite left. Jeff Macke is the bald headed guy who used to be on Fast Money and mysteriously disappeared.
