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?  Just checked AAPL and almost had a heart attack.  I thought maybe Redmond and Enderle just spontaneously combusted.  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…
