    The story may be six years old. But United sucks as much as it did back then, so what has changed?

    The Exchange can disallow trades based on widespread false news, and has done so occasionally. That doesn't mean they have to this time, but it wouldn't surprise me.

    Doesn't look like NASDAQ will disallow all trades. The penny trade apparently was nullified, but those who bailed at the $3 or $4 range will not get relief. The stock opened today at $12.16.

    Here's the ticker of the stock's trading today.

    Also, here's a priceless quote from the president of the investment newsletter company that published the recycled article. Bloomberg uses articles from the company and other third-party sources to supplement its newswire.

    If he's lucky, his newsletter only suffers a drop in circulation.

    This one smells. Some lawyers are going to jump all over. And I also want the T-shirt.
