Seeing shit like this scares me, as it makes me really feel like an ant.

However, the only positive thing I can think of is that if it was really a osama option, it would be a lot more money. Let's all hope it's a hedge fund.

I would not go to a rave where DJ Eurostoxx was spinning.

this sucks. i'm really enjoying my life these days.

I'm ready for a little excitement, bring it on.
All I'm saying is it better be good, not just some rehash of 9-11 or some bullshit like that.
Everyone knows that sequels are for the most part pretty bad, but once and awhile someone makes 'Aliens' remember that.

I'm trying to figure out how "Clocker Bob" was supposedly a persona, or some sort of planned out acted out character, and how this "Rick Reuben" is any different.

When there is no terrorist attack that destroys markets, what will that indicate? There was a grand conspiracy to popularize a news story about some options trading?

You have any links about this? I haven't heard this before, but I'm interested, and also a poor user of the search function.

This is some scary shit though, if they're betting right. Which would also mean I'm betting right. Well, not betting, just predicting or speculating or whatever.

Its not too grand of a conspiracy, nor is it a "false flag" terrorist attack or a canceling of elections, but it looks like Republicans are trying at least one majorly dirty trick to hold on to the White House perpetually.

I mean I'm no big fan of the electoral college, but this isn't exactly what I'd consider "reform."

Haha, well said.

[quote=rick reuben]Are you asking for links detailing the current options? There's a 15 page thread discussing them over at tickerforum.org:

If you're asking about the put options on the airlines before 9/11:

Looking mainly for the 911 stuff, but the current info is good too. Thanks.

They do indeed look like spreads. It could be a company getting out because their clients aren't too happy either.
