BWAC, "On the day before the Sept. 11 attack, for example, 1,535 contracts changed hands on options that let investors profit if AMR stock falls below $30 per share before Oct. 20. That was almost five times the total number of those options traded before that day, according to Bloomberg data. " "Similarly, October $30 put options for UAL soared, with 2,000 contracts traded on Sept. 6, three trading days before the attack compared with a total of 27 contracts before that day. " For AMR: Volume on 9/10 Greater Than Volume on 9/9 For UAL: Volume on 9/6 Greater Than Volume on 9/10 How can these contradictory facts point to a financial conspiracy, IMHO?
