In the craziest non news you are going to hear today… Rumors have been circulating that Steve Jobs is back in the hospital. This could have been the cause of the huge random drop in AAPL shares. We have put several phone calls into sources, and we cannot verify this. In fact, it looks to be one huge drop the stock ploy. We are trying to find out, where this rumor first hit. Twitter, it looks like. As far as we know, it is incredibly false, but we are sure somebody made money off of this. We will stay on top of this, so keep checking back. This looks like it has been one big rumor, and somebody is bound to get sued.
All in all, it looks like Apple is having a successful launch on Verizon with their iPhone.
Edit: We have looked more into this, and most of the lies have been spread on yahoo msg boards. Which are surprisingly unmoderated. First place to pick it up was Scott Rubin from benzinga.
Here is some actual rumor news, that may or may not be truth.
Update: Steve Jobs is seemingly fine. Just as we thought.
Looks to be a giant ploy by the shorts. Look at this screen shot captured on yahoo msg board.
Just sick...
The only rumors disseminated were from this POS website right here.
There are a hundred posts a day on Yahoo stating that Steve Jobs is in the hospital; has passed away, etc..
I SAID A HUNDRED PER DAY. EVERY DAY!
Yahoo message boards are a known mental institution. Everyone knows this. It has no power to disseminate any rumor.
PS,
Apple will be releasing it’s self-driving solar automobile at a special event on April 3, 2011.
(There we go… That should put the stock back up to around $387.42 by close on Friday)
You’re welcome.
iCasket! I love it! Let’s go to market IMMEDIATELY!
Somebody TM that Sh*t!
Seriously tho… Jobs is ready to drop. Although not sure about origin of this rumor. Serious divination on the Yahoo! boards leads to generous libation. Good for pumpers of penny stocks tho.
