A bit of fun, here. Multiple websites and stock reporting services today briefly misreported that modest gains in Apple’s stock today (2 points as of 11 a.m.) was actually a titanic leap of 40 points, or more than 33 percent of its gain.
As submitting reader SBI notes:
“WTF? Â Just checked AAPL and almost had a heart attack. Â I thought maybe Redmond and Enderle just spontaneously combusted. Â In all honesty, I don’t know where everybody draws the stock data from, but I saw this on at least 3 diff sites.”
Amazing. Apple announced great results, but that would be something else…
