Oh come on, that's nothing...these idiotic web sites, such as
Yahoo! Finance and MarketWatch, have so much bad information
on them, it's not even funny...my favorites are the NEGATIVE
volume numbers they re****t on the index summary pages,
presumably because of a 32-bit unsigned integer overflow that
began occurring like SEVEN freakin' years ago when average
daily volume went well over 2billion shares a day on the major
exchanges, but nobody does anything about it or cares...in
general, ALL web sites these days are run by lazy incompetent
idiots, and it doesn't help that the "professional" data services
the financial sites key off of aren't really much better...

About the same as the odds that all other factors in the market will
freeze so this potential effect can be predicted with 100% accuracy...
