Ticker symbol CRMB today? Up more than 1,000 percent. You read that right.

That’s interesting since we learned Wednesday cupcake chain Crumbs Bake Shop has shut everything down and will likely go out of business. Apparently some guy on CNBC said he’d save it – that is, throw some money at it – hence the spike.
