Alright here it is since so many paid disinfomration agents want to claim 9-11 went down as the official narrative suggests. I do not claim to know whyy 9-11 occured, I do not cliam to know who was behind the attacks, I do not claim to be able to prove something brought the towers down other then a airplane. What I am claiming is that there is proof, if you understand how a put option works, that there was prior knowledge to 9-11, and that people proffited millions of dollars from this prior knowledge. First, what a put option is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Put_option So that eveyone understands this, what this is saying is that if the price of a stock never falls below the price the option was bought at, it becomes a 100% loss of that investment. This is why put options are used as a hedge against a investment that the stock will actually succeed that is much larger. Now for a pre-emtive strike. One particular poster likes to call the into question the motives for the owner of the Asia times. While this is a classic attack the messenger ploy, I will still respond, as the criticism itself is unfounded. The owner of the Asia Times is this man: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sondhi_Limthongkul So the idea is that because this guy led a Democratic movement to overthrow a monarchy, that this makes him some kind of terrorist. Never mind the fact that when the government he was protesting dissolved, he also dissolved his organization know as PAD(People's Alliance for Democracy....real menacing I know). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/คนเสื้อเหลือง Now, onto the article in question: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/NC21Dj05.html
yep and that is so obvious (at least to traders and series 7 holders) that is like a 2x4 between the eyes.
Shills aren't interested in responding to anything like this! They're hoping the post will go away dude.
Here is what the link says.....There were economic reasons such as unemployment numbers, and other things that effected the general market that can explain this....... What general market conditions allows for the increased buys of the airlines used on 9-11, but not on other airlines?
Between September 6 and 7, the CBOE saw purchases of 4,744 put options on United Airlines, but only 396 call options. Assuming that 4,000 of the options were bought by people with advance knowledge of the imminent attacks, these "insiders" would have profited by almost $5 million. On September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago exchange, compared to only 748 calls. Again, there was no news at that point to justify this imbalance; again, assuming that 4,000 of these options trades represent "insiders", they would represent a gain of about $4 million. [The levels of put options purchased above were more than six times higher than normal.] No similar trading in other airlines occurred on the Chicago exchange in the days immediately preceding Black Tuesday.
yeh and some of these guys never came in to pick up the proceeds either. Hmmmm...... only cj would walk away from millions!
Why pick on Continental. Heavy trading occurred at the same time with KLM, British Airways, Munich RE and Swiss RE. Why are you ignoring those?
No similar trading in other airlines occurred on the Chicago exchange in the days immediately preceding Black Tuesday.
My information is sourced in a mainstream media outlet. It clearly states that no similiar trading in other airlines occured. You need to provide evidence that it did, or concede your claim that general market conditions explain this. Now to where you moved the goal posts to, in your explanation that a 9% difference AMR and other major airlines explains a 10 to 1 ratio for put options. This just isn't the case, which is why this article above which repeatedly quotes multple financial experts is superiror to your BS!!

LOL, it says this was OK because this German airline, was doing it on behalf of a 3rd party, that isn't identified. Whose side are you on again?
