>From a short tern point of view you can not discount such fears, in fact you
should trade them in a contrary manor. I remember a few years ago, I was
short a lot of index options and in a losing position, just about to be
stopped out, when some idiot fired shots in the US Capitol building. For a
few hours the market tanked, allowing me to get out with a profit. Had I
increased my short I would have been wiped out. When the market settled the
short position continued to go bad but the charts where skewed for some time
to follow.
But that should not influence a long term view. My contention is that from
a longer term point of view 9-11 should be discounted much as one would
discount a bad tick that has skewed their charts.
Good luck and good trading,

The market sank yesterday because a plane crashed. There was fear that
it was another terrorist attack. Doesn't this disprove the notion that
9/11 can be ignored?
