[Infowarrior] - AP Twitter hacked

[Richard Forno]

FYI -  the official @AP account has been hacked.   There were no explosions at the White House, Barack Obama not injured, etc, etc, etc.

Markets went insane when that tweet broke, but recovered everything it gave up almost *precisely* ... gotta love those heedline-parsing algos, right?  *bangs head*  Move along, nothing to see here....
