May 2013

CNBC reported that the trades would stand, but the records were cancelled. That may have changed since, but I was not aware of any change when I posted. Perhaps CNBC had it wrong, maybe the bad publicity caused the exchange to have a change of heart; but I know what I heard.

Also if you read my post, you'll see I did not tell people not to trade. I told them not to use market orders just as you suggested.

On Edit: Here's a link confirming my original post.
