I need to thank you for finally stumbling into the point of my post instead of continuing to race bait me like so many of the others on here.
Even if only a few people noticed this shorting activity, certainly they should have alerted the authorities. However, I can imagine that with all of the rumors going around Wall Street such individuals are hesitant to be known as alarmists and so it doesn't get reported.
Your rather lame excuse that you didn’t accuse them of making money, just saving their own skins, while allowing other Americans to die doesn’t cut it.
If you are intellectually honest, you might also imagine that it is quite possible that those same individuals (seeking to avoid being known as alarmists) sensed that something was up and decided to stay home that day. It's not a big enough hunch to bet on, but it just doesn't seem right, so you take a vacation day or call in sick. This scenario is played out on a daily basis in everyone's life. You see someone you care about doing something a little dangerous and you think to yourself, "they might hurt themselves," and then before you can say anything, they do.
Maybe there aren't that many Jews in the financial market? I, personally, have only 3 data points and they all just happen to be good Jewish friends. They all went to work that day and fortunately were not in the WTC.
I'm saddened that you have such a poor perception of me, but that's your problem, not mine. You can all believe what you want to believe, but I am confident that when God judges my heart (He's the only one entitled to do so), I will be without blame.
