On Sept 11- Fox's finacial analyst Neil Cavuto -- shortly after the attack -- said that there was a strange sequence of events shortly before the markets closed - oil prices were going up and the dollar was taking a hit.

Because of that - I was convince we were dealing with a nation-state (Saddam) - as I was watching the unbelievable.

Glancing quickly at the real-time intraday price charts, neither the dollar nor oil was doing anything unusual prior to the attack.

Between the time of the attack and the closing of various markets, of course prices swung sharply, but that appears to be in reaction to, rather than in anticipation of, the attack.

That said, insiders would have been quietly accumulating positions in the days and weeks preceding the attack. Now we'll see if they can get out.
