Lá como cá mas se a suspeita ( que é recorrente ) tiver fundamento, é bem possível que tenhamos um "short squeeze" de proporções gigantescas em curso... é só a maior Empresa do mundo em capitalização bolsista.

Apple's stock closed at $500 just as Call Options expired, stock manipulation suspected

Why did Apple close at exactly $500 on Friday? Has Apple been the victim of stock manipulation? As we wrote last week, call options written this summer were due to expire on 19 January and some savvy money managers could have been in a position to make (or lose) money depending on which way the stock went.
After months of dramatic declines, the Apple stock faced a rough ride last week after a Wall Street Journal report claimed that the company had halved its component orders for the iPhone 5. After a week that saw Apple fall to its lowest level in almost a year, the AAPL stock closed at exactly $500 on Friday 18 January. Is this evidence of stock manipulation?
As we wrote last Tuesday, the effect of the WSJ report on Apple’s share price was mysterious given that the report was an old story that broke (and was covered by Macworld UK) last December, and given that the report included inaccuracies which WSJ later removed. We felt certain that something else was at play, and having discover that call options written this summer were due to expire on 19 January we were curious to learn what would happen to Apple’s stock in the run up to that day.
We weren’t alone in our suspicions: "If you don’t smell stock manipulation here, I have a bridge to sell you," wrote John Gruber on Daring Fireball.
