I am not a stock market guru by any means but I would have to say that if everyone sold based on ONE newspaper article then they deserve to lose their money. There is this thing called the internets that can verify things like this in a few seconds. If something huge like United is declaring bankruptcy then it is going to be everywhere not just in the paper.
The brokers should have been able to say "Dude don't sell, some idiot in Florida is just making stuff up."
