That makes it seriously difficult for me to trust them as an objective source of financial information. Guess I'll stick with Yahoo!

  Does this really make you worry that they would tamper with information that mattered? Seems a bit far-fetched to me, doing that would be massively scandalous, and probably illegal.

    If they are then they are tampering with information that mattters, SELL is a valid stock descriptor (SELL.ME, selestra corp: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SELL.ME http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SELL.ME). Financial data sites are not a good place to be pranking your users. That alone makes me seriously doubt that this is an easter egg, if it is google will have easter egg all over its oos.

      Is this the sort of "tampering" that would have any sort of effect, positive or negative, on anything at all?
      • jacquesm 14y ago
        If your stock symbol can't be found? I'd guess negative, hard to put a positive on that somehow.

          I suspect that if Selestra actually thinks it was a problem, they'll deal with it with lawyers. I find it hard to worry myself over it.
