A wire service mistakenly posted a story about UA's 2002 bankruptcy and assumed it was a current story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26608735/.
UA stock then took a huge hit while everyone was trying to figure out what was happening.

Just a small hiccup. It corrected itself in 90 minutes. Look at the chart.

Hell they were ~ a $45 stock at this time last year. I'm sure anyone that's still in it is in it for the LOOOOONG haul.
