I Keep Hearing...

...all this talk about excessive trading in "put" options on American Airlines, United Airlines and various companies that lost money post-9/11.

The next and most obvious question then is, "Who benefitted?" Who made the windfall from the transactions? I know it was said to have originated from a German brokerage house, but on whose behalf did they operate? Is there no way for Interpol or any investigative body to uncover this?

3. I heard a long time ago

that some of the contracts were never collected on.

It could be that somebody who knew about the attack gave a friend a tip and that friend bet on the tip without knowing about the impending attacks.

4. there were some millions in put options which weren't collected, but

there were billions of dollars made on insider trading. While the put options get the attention, such as it is, there was much more going on.

ABC News consultant Jonathan Winer said "It’s absolutely unprecedented to see cases of insider trading covering the entire world from Japan, to the U.S., to North America, to Europe."

5. The powers that be won't answer your question.

And, they could. It is a simple matter.

But they will not.

And what is strange to me is that the 911 widows are not asking this question.

Something is wrong here.

This information is available to the public--that this is a question that they should ask. And, supposedly, they are seeking the truth...right?

WHY don't they ask this question? WHY?
