Apple Inc. shares plunged almost 5 percent during a 60-second swoon that started 20 minutes after trading began today, falling the most since January before paring half the loss almost as quickly.
About $40 billion of market value was erased and then mostly restored as shares of the Cupertino, California-based iPhone maker slumped along with other technology stocks. The decline was fastest between 9:50 a.m. and 9:51 a.m., when more than 6 million Apple shares traded at prices from $117 to $111.27 in more than 30,000 different trades.
