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).

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?


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.
