Fortunately, the good people at Yahoo! Finance lets you see the historical trading volume and prices for any given stock. For Boeing from August 1, 2001 to September 11, 2001, here is the daily volume and closing prices of the stock (hey, I got to do another tiny url!): http://tinyurl.com/ncl7l One can take any stock and do similar research for it. So I fully expect Judy-Petooty to roll up her sleeves and back up the nutty statement she made in a previous post regarding that this is where the key evidence is to be found. Get to work, Judy!
