Does anyone know if this paragraph from the full article, referencing airline stock puts before 9/11, is true? This angle of the attacks always intrigued me.-—

“Despite knowing who made these trades, the Securities and Exchange Commission NEVER revealed who made the unusual trades and no one was ever publicly identified as being responsible for the trades which made upwards of $50 million when the attacks happened.”

Yes, there was some abnormal activity in airline shares' puts prior to 11 September 2001. Curiously, afaik, SEC have never nailed anyone for it. (shrug).

This particular bit of scaremongering is nonsense on its face. See post #40.
