Yes, I was well aware of it, as I've written. But big deal, Judy. Why did YOU make such a big deal of it in the context of what we were discussing? Like I said before, the terrorists would have been idiots if they didn't take advantage of the insider trader knowledge of the attacks and speculate accordingly. Hey, do you guys have any idea how much you could have made on Google's approximately 100 point drop in its stock price earlier this year had you bought put options at the right time? A $5,000 investment could have turned into about $8 million in about a month. Now, THAT'S the power of put options! ------------------------ Yahoo!
