It's been reported in numerous circles that the Chicago Bd. Options Exch. rec'd orders on 9-6&7 for approx. 4700 United put options and 4500 or so for American a couple days later........both figures were far, far more than normal trading patterns.

[VegasCowboy]

Numerous circles, huh? Got a link?

Also, what does this prove? Are members of Al Queda incapable of buying put options?

What are your professional credentials in architecture or civil engineering to assess the collapse of WTC 7?

It's been reported in numerous circles that the Chicago Bd. Options Exch. rec'd orders on 9-6&7 for approx. 4700 United put options and 4500 or so for American a couple days later........both figures were far, far more than normal trading patterns.

It was not just those. Boeing and a bunch of others had put options placed. See 2001 FR thread on it. Yes, there were people who knew that it would happen. At the time, it looked to me like they decided to cash in. Unfortunately for a lot of their plans, the US trading system was shut down for a while after 9/11, and the patterns were discovered before trading resumed

[DBrow]

OK, it's been reported in many circles. But there should be no speculation or rumor needed- it's a matter of record.

If this happened, nobody needs to say "I read it somewhere on the Web" or My Brother-in-law has a friend who said he heard...

It would be easy to prove beyond the whispers of rumor, and would be quite an interesting story that many newspapers and several mags would pay money to publish, if it's well documented and backed up with actual fact.

As long as it stays rumor, I'll remain skeptical.

Here is the CBOE Market summary for a few days earlier, 8/31/2001.

Please examine all three, using the 8/31 as a baseline, and tell me if you see any anomalies.

Usually, on FreeRepublic, when someone makes an assertion, they back it up. Frequently, someone makes an unsupported assertion, and some other poster may (or may not) ask for a link to support the assertion or ask for some other verification. That's the geeky way most of us operate, and it serves as peer review and accuracy check.

So you have made the assertion that there were unusual option activities on a particular date, and imply that the unusual activities point to an underlying conspiracy by the Bush admin, or perhaps others who may have known about the impending attacks and sought to profit.

Please do follow this up, American Spirit, because if it was done from inside our government we all need to know. If it was done by the Islamic terrorist organizations, finding out exactly who it was who placed these questionable put calls will help to delineate who the enemy is.


Once you find the anomalies you can find out who placed them, and blow the whole thing sky-high.
