United passenger forcibly removed from overbooked flight..
Discussion
Seems like United received the big bunny in good health, then someone put it into an overnight freezer.

Irrespective of his own personal position, this is going to have big ramifications for UA; numerous major corporates are cancelling their travel contracts
CEO still in place. UAL share price has just hit record highs. Perhaps there's something in this 'bedroom investment', after all. Irrespective of his own personal position, this is going to have big ramifications for UA; numerous major corporates are cancelling their travel contracts

Poor form.
He was ridiculed by loads of posters and he turned out to be completely right. United shares are up and the CEO is still there. They haven't even been cancelling flights or suffering from lower load factors. All that happened was they paid off the doctor and everyone moved on. Poor form.
Some people are getting off very liightly.

Although he does have a new bonus structure. Although i would not be surprised if that's left him better off...Some people are getting off very liightly.

Indeed. Comparisons to things like Deepwater Horizon, that investors aren't as concerned for fundamentals, CEO out by the end of the week etc. Some people are getting off very liightly.
There's nothing wrong with people giving an opinion (that's all I did), but being patronised with some rubbish about bedroom investment / being like an intern means the person who writes it best know what they are talking about and be right with their predictions.
To be fair, it's only a month after so perhaps some load issues may not be felt until further along, but it's a good lesson in not getting too suckered into the 'heat of the moment' and keeping perspective and having a sense of proportionally. Also a demonstration as to how overconfident people are with predictions in an uncertain environment. It is ok to just not know.

So no mention of the 100s of millions of dollars added to UA's share price from the open today, then?
The 3.44% gain from the day's low? Wasn't it meant to be down 5%?
The fact it's finished pretty much at the high of the day and rallied all day.
That since the open on Monday and over these last two days of turning itself into, according to PH, a toxic equity, the share price has INCREASED by 0.23%
Perhaps a bit of a lesson those who want to read into short term price movements and make overly-simplistic assessments.
