I haven't heard anything and I was pondering this.

2. I heard on the radio the other day that this has been resolved.
I was listening to KGO radio out of San Francisco.

I just did a quick google search and found this at Snopes...
http://www.snopes.com/rumors/putcall.asp

Other than that, I haven't heard much talk about it.

3. Wow! That reply didn't satisfy me at all! Wouldn't someone then
go one step further and provide an interview with the staff and owner of the Newsletter? Pinning the entire investment and airline shorting on a single newsletter article leaves me hanging and disbelieving.

Shouldn't the Snopes reply then state that there were or were not proportionaltely absurd option numbers on other airlines or investments companies or any other companies that did or did not involve the towers or Pentagon?

I'm grandly let down with that answer.

Resolved can be a vague concept at times when you have an agenda.

I think he also said something about wikipedia (I wouldn't know where to start) and telling his audience to search the internet... he didn't give any information himself. I thought about emailing him for a specific link, but I was in my car when I heard him, and of course I had completely forgot about it by the time I got home.

6. Sorry, can't ask questions about that or the Anthrax attacks or
why we invaded Iraq OR what happen to federal aid after Katrina. The media want us desperately to get on with our daily business and stop thinking about it. Let them do all the thinking for you!

I think it was ALL an inside job. Someone will pay for it, one day.

7. Or why there was a gaggle of CEOs
whose offices were in the WTC, having brunch in Omaha with Warren Buffet that morning.

9. Question....I read somewhere that gwb flew to Omaha and had
brunch/lunch with Warren Buffett also on 9/11....that is where he supposedly was during all those hours that afternoon, when they kept telling us they didn't know where he was...and that it was a preplanned lunch date...true?...(shrugging my shoulders...and saying I don't know, I just know that I read it)

8. I'm curious about the WTC hard drives
containing $100 million in transactions made just before or during the disaster. Supposedly a German firm named Convar used lasers to read dozens of damaged WTC hard drives at a cost of $20k-30k a piece, but we haven't heard anything about the results of their findings.
