This country must think and act as one now. After the tragedy, new shorts are a form of trader looting. This is an emergency as you know.

x, that is a very good advice. Not only the physical damage in NY and Washington is large, a fellow doctor also told me about the huge pychological impact such an event has. Like in earlier war times, many people witnessing bombing, continued fear and distress suffer a long time in varying intensities. Therefore, it is entirely possible that also Spirit is still in a disarray resulting from these traumatic events in NY and Washington. So he needs to yell out what perhaps many of us think (for example that something shall be done and all of us shall contribute). Combine that with his earlier stock market losses (which, in his opinion perhaps result from un-american trades, ie. shorting), and it is entirely understandable for me that he reacts in such a way. Seeing a psychologist could improve the situation but in addition to that, American Spirit should abstain from the stock market for quite a while.
