Apple has lost 10% of their value in after hours trading following their so-so results. I guess the speculators are back-peddling.

At this exact moment:
“After Hours: 458.89
-55.12
(-10.72%)
Jan 23, 6:00PM EST”

Please write a story on this.

Leap! – hey, that’s great!

“Apple is enjoying a boost of its own”
Boost! – you don’t say! – I’m getting really excited now.

“so this slight jump”
Oh, so we’ve gone from leap to slight jump.. mmkay.. maybe it isn’t that bad.

“Apple’s stock is up nearly $6 or 1.18% to $510.71, so even though it isn’t the biggest of jumps, it’s pretty easy to see that investors are excited for this evening’s financial report.”
Ahh, riiight.. 1.18% eh? No, you are right, it isn’t the biggest of jumps, in fact it’s within a few cents of last thursday’s opening price ($510). It’s also 1.78% down on Jan 11th’s closing price of $520.

Apple shouldn’t have been included in the title at all and just been a sidenote in the text due to their imminent earnings report – this is just paid propaganda and an attempt to dilute news on a Google stock jump.
