I've heard this theory multiple times: that prior to 9/11 there was a lot of "shorting" of airline stock. In case you don't know, "shorting" means you borrow the stock and sell it with the promise you'll bring it back to the original owner. You are betting the stock will drop.
Of all the conspiracy theories I've heard about 9/11, this one seems the easiest to verify or debunk, since every day zillions of bits of data are printed regarding the stock market's every twitch.
So... does anyone know if anyone has looked into this? If so, please provide a link.
The theory goes that someone made a ton of money, but still hasn't picked it up yet.
Please let me know if you have a link to someone who has actually looked at the data.
