As Fast As Rumors Run Stock, Delta/United Deny Talks (UAUA, DAL)
Published:
Last Updated:
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) has canned the notions and the reports on Wall Street and Main Street that it is in merger dicusssions with United Airlines’ parent UAL Corp. (NASDAQ:UAUA).
Wall Street has just shown the two that their stocks will rise if they so choose to merge because UAL (UAUA) traded as high as $49+ before closing up 1.5% at $44.17, while Delta traded as high as $21.10 before closing up 4.3% at $19.56.
Assuming you belive the companies about not being in talks (despite their denial), you can blame rumor-mongering or overly aggressive reporting.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts
Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.
It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.
We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
