National Guard called to Times Square and Penn Station
Finance Rumor Mill | 11/14/03 | TC Rider

Posted on 11/14/2003 12:33:51 PM PST by TC Rider

Our stock market guy at my office just told me that the buzz on Wall Street is that the National Guard has just been ordered to Times Square and Penn Station.

This rumor accounts for the current dip in the Dow, etc.

That's the way I heard it. Sounded odd to me.

Last year I was near Grand Central when the 'duct tape' crisis was going on. It was overwhelmed by NYPD forces in riot gear.

The guys in the markets are very connected to each other (more than freepers) there may be something to it.

If they're looking for the Yemeni fruit vendor, he's been gone for a while.

Upon hearing Al-Qaida's boast of killing 100,000 people, my first thought was sarin in the subway, just like Japan.

I can't confirm the troop movement part, but something has certainly spooked the market on an otherwise unremarkable Friday.

Possibly, but nutty rumors fly around the stock market almost as often as lewd jokes.

Um, the National Guard isn't a force for spur of the monment emergency deployment.

Maybe the "rumor" was started by someone who shorted a lot of stock yesterday...
