Take Steve jobs into confidence (probably on a 60:40 partnership. 60 to me of course) - put him on a diet, make him lose 10 or 12 kilos - short the Apple stock - release photos of him visiting some secret treatment center for terminal illness - wearing an apple t shirt - a ski mask or something - make him look at 'frail' and 'gaunt' (goouuunt, as the chick on BBC says) in public - release a statement or two laced with 'pancreatic cancer', 'unconfirmed illness' - watch the stock go down 6 or 10% - make a bundle on the shorts.
Seriously, key man run companies ALWAYS run this risk. Another stock screen parameter i guess.
Update # 1 : More news stories indicate that Steve Jobs appears to be having serious trouble, and here i am joking about it. Poor guy! Did u know that in the past - he had a version of normally terminal pancreatic cancer and almost miraculously it turned out to be a version which was surgically curable ?
Update # 2 : More dope on steve jobs & his cancer and all here and here
