>> What I am saying is that there is sufficient questions in my mind, to see if there was a monetary benefit to anyone, and there was one. One that was also suspicious.
greeneyes, I’ve read several of your posts. Thanks for your insight.
Could you elaborate on the statement above?
I have heard that several people had huge (inexplicable) shorts on airlines before 9/11. I would expect they profited handsomely. Also, it stands to reason that someone would profit from the rescue and rebuilding efforts and from other elements of the ensuing panic, market crash, etc.
Do you have any specific names?
Thanks!
The 9/11 report did not give names with respect to stock movements-just that they weren’t connected to the terrorist groups.
If I was going to try to search for those, I’m not sure where I would start. Maybe with the 10Ks - they might have to list big divestures. However, if they just did shorts maybe not.
If I was guessing, I’d look for connections with the Carlyle Group, Bushes, Bin Laden’s, and wives as far as people who Saudis might have given an insider tip without necessarily telling what would happen.
More like just a suggestion that it would be good to short the airlines.
As far as the WTC, Silverstein was the big winner there. Made out like a bandit, after the Ins. Company paid off from what I read.
