Today, Friday October 3rd, there was a report leaked early in the day that Steve Jobs suffered a heart attack. Well, according to Apple, he hasn't.
This is the time each year that Apple typically enjoys a surge in their stock value due to releases of new products. It's beginning to seem, at least to me, that there are many unscrupulous people out there that try to artificially lower the value of Apple stock for personal gain.
Apple stock was down around 10 points this morning following the news, only to jump right back up after Apple denied the report. A person that bought stock after being down would have earned $14.00+ per share. Multiply that by 100,000 shares and someone just made a cool 1.4 million dollars.
It makes me wonder.
