Many things that are investigated turn out to be insignificant. To say that an investigation legitimately creates confidence in wrongdoing is parallel to saying someone is automatically guilty because they are as suspect in an investigation -- prior to indictment, prior to trial. > > The person I was responding to above, and several > others--yourself included, earlier--have been** trying > to say there wasn't anything unusual about the stock > market activity prior to 9/11. Quite untrue. Being a major respondent, I am quite open to the possibility that there was statistically significant anomolies in the stock or options markets prior to 9/11. I have said so repeatededly. What we have asked for is some actual data and analysis cites. All that has been provided are some articles citing some investigations and sucpicions, and several ambiguously defined "small trades." And the video, from where this discussion started, clearly sliced and diced the data. Thus a call for the actual data and analysis to see upon what the claims of "unusual" are. My whole point has simple been, that what "appears" unusual to the naive may be quite normal, aka within the main body of a normal distribution.
