You would have to think that someone made some serious money shorting the market when the indices plunged following today’s AP twitter feed hacking which falsely reported explosions at the White House. U.S. stocks on the S&P 500 dove briefly on the news by an average of about 13 points, before sharply recovering to just about where they were prior to the hack.
It also led to a brief drop of more than 100 points in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
