can someone answer me this question

[shamrock]

although I don't see any missiles in snake's thread, and frankly don't buy that story. I remember distinctly hearing of a very unusual pattern of put options being bought on several US airline companies, I believe America & United. These were very out of the ordinary patterns something like 10-1 (put/call). Something that should have raised eyebrows. My younger brother is a vp with a financial company and confirmed these figures back in 01, I'm wondering if anyone ever heard any rational reason or explanation on why or how that happened, and why nothing has come as a result. Just something that always has struck me as strange.

What is a Put/call? :shrug: :thinking:

 

[shamrock]

by put/call, I was referring to the ratio of put options purchased that day verse call options purchased that particular day regarding the airline companies American & United. It was at least 10-1, or maybe even more, I forget exactly. But someone was looking for the airline sector, particularly American & United to tank.

What are you trying to imply with those stats?

Yes someone or a group of people seem to have an idea that there was going to be something happening with these airlines immediately prior to 9/11. It is on the internet and it has been reported by a few news outlets but it has been "dismissed" as a bizarre coinceidence.
