THIS is what you are so excited about, Judy (here's the first paragraph of the article, which pretty much sums it up): "Manipulators with inside information made huge profits on sophisticated trades as the stocks of the airline and insurance companies plummeted in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 disaster. The inside information was so precise that experts have concluded that it could have only come from those who masterminded the terror attacks." This is old, old news. This was widely reported a few weeks or a few months after 9/11 and, as it says in the paragraph above, could only have come from those who masterminded the terror attacks. Well, duh. The terrorists would have been stupid if they didn't buy put options (I used to be licensed to sell commodity options) because they provide the greatest leverage for the buck. But why are you suggesting this is some kind of sinister, special information, Judy? Everyone and their mother-in-law knew about this? Yawn.
