also from http://www.paranoiamagazine.com/paranotes1.htm Suspicious Stock Trading . A subplot to the national tragedy of 9/11 emerged just days later when financial analyst Phil Erlanger noticed highly suspicious trading activity in airline and hotel stocks in the days and weeks leading up to the attack. As Erlanger notes on his website (www.erlangersqueezeplay.com), dramatic spikes in short selling (so-called "put" options) occurred in stocks of both American and United Airlines. "Puts" are bets that a particular stock or security is going to fall in value. The stocks of major hotel chains, including Marriott, also showed similar trading activity. An insurance firm, Marsh & McLennan, with offices at the top of the World Trade Center, showed a sharp increase in the buying of put options. Erlanger explains that these levels of trading have not been seen in years, and that this activity indicates foreknowledge of the attacks. Erlanger asks, "Was this direct manipulation by terrorist organizations looking to reap a quick windfall from their criminal acts?" "Put" trading prior to assassination is an old trick. A similar sharp rise in "put" trading occurred on November 21, 1963, the day before John F. Kennedy was assassinated. According to Lincoln Lawrence in Were We Controlled?, a record short-selling spree swamped the New York Stock Exchange on this date, prompting a massive short-sell. "Someone" reaped $500 million 1963 dollars, the equivalent of $2 billion dollars today, when the market crashed on news of the assassination.
