Yet your telling us that they know it was planned because America sent out the script. How do you come across this information if nobody knows it?
Yes, monaco. Will you kindly sort out these plebs as regards the workings of the markets. Then bring me some tea.
Monaco can explain to these uninformed types how unusual it is for 5000 put options to be bought against 500 calls on a company like American Airlines in one day. Does that not stink of insider trading?
What do you want to know? Did people make money from 9/11 on the markets, of course they did, just like every other disaster in the world. Bin Laden and his muckers could easily have made money on it, just because AA options were bought, it doesn't mean it was the CIA/FBI blah blah who bought them. If you knew it was going to happen you would have short selling until your heart's content, free money. One lump or two sir?
Do you not think it would have been big news and evidence if it was bin laden? <coverup-sweepsweepsweep>
Sure, it stinks of insider trading, but technically is insider trading not by people in the company? I'm sure that the good people at AA didn't know the planes were going down, but obviously somebody did. The IRA used to make money from trader deals also.
