Great $AAPL StockTweets on the Steve Jobs News

Last night on the news that Steve Jobs was taking a leave of absence, we asked StockTwits whether this ‘on the news’ might mark a bottom in the stock.  In the after hours session, $AAPL traded into the mid 70’s on heavy volume and opened this morning around 80.  While its still way too early to tell, we got some great responses.  Here are some faves:
