When I was studying for my MBA, our teacher, a man with a delightful sense of humor, described "put" options as a device to "put it to" someone who was not privy to insider information.
During 911, these insiders were taking "put" options, in essence betting that the stocks in which they took a position would plummet, and "PUTTING" it to the uninformed small investor. These small, insignificant investors would then further help these thieves by sending their sons and daughters to fight a war against an innocent nation under fraudulent pretenses. Where are these weapons of "mass" destruction.
