SEC investigating fake Steve Jobs heart attack story

Artificial vulnerability: "...these sudden falls in stock price based on speculation and rumor show that Apple is at present very vulnerable, especially when it comes to Steve Jobs and his health."

I just like to point out that the perceived vulnerability was created mostly by persistent feed of rumours and speculations. Yes, Jobs has health problems, but the recent succession of mistakes, hoaxes and unfounded reports are just a little bit too much to take. Liberation's benzene shot in the dark, Bloomberg's obituary and now CNN. All in a few weeks.

Is it a campaign? Is it simply incredible professional misconduct on part of the said media? Or is it just OK and ethical now to kick Apple by whatever means are available - including lies?; Posted by: kitko Posted on: 10/04/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
