The New York Times is saying that Apple CEO Steve Jobs needs to disclose all of the information about his medical condition so investors can decide.  He had surgery in 2004 for pancreatic cancer and afterwards declared himself "cured".

Do investor needs to know in order to make an informed decision about their investment?  Steve Jobs is Apple.   The company has never spoken about his illness, citing his “privacy” concerns.  Some think the stock would drop 25 percent or more if he were to leave the company unexpectedly.
