I'betcha' if they traced the purchasers of stock when Apple started taking a
dive, they could also discover who did this.

What a great way to make a buck!!!

Actually, it would be better to look for people who had shorted it recently,
though why anyone would short Apple in particular right now is beyond me.


The SEC, by the way, is one of the handful of government agencies that actually
works. Big market moves are always scrutinized carefully, especially short
sellers who have a rep (undeserved in my opinion) for being shadier than
the long guys.
