After September 11, 2001, there was a great deal of speculation that the terrorists or their associates had traded in the option market on advanced knowledge of the impending attacks. This paper generates systematic information about option market activity that can be used to assess the option trading that precedes any event of interest. Examination of the option trading leading up to September 11 reveals that there was an unusually high level of put buying. This finding is consistent with informed investors having traded options in advance of the attacks.
A place I sublet for a while a year or so ago is coming up for an even longer sublet soon. I think it will be available for ~6 months. It's on the corner of Canal and Eldridge which I think is a really great spot. And it's a super place, if a little bachelor pad-ish (of course that might be a plus.) When I lived there the shower and sink were in the apartment, but the toilet was in the hallway shared with a few others on the floor. But now there is a private toilet in the apartment making it a little nicer. This is a classic old New York LES building with lots of garment and fashion business and only a few loft like apartments. I guess this means something like: the building is dirty and industrial, but maybe that makes it sort of cool (very high celings, huge windows, exposed pipes.) Anyway, $2600/month - not cheap, but actually not a bad deal in the present market. And the subletter is a really nice guy. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Images are here.
free books. i haven't really checked it out too much yet, but i had dinner the other night with an editor here. i'm not so much sold on reading on my computer, but the woman who i met was downloading a chapter a day of moby dick to her iphone, which sounds like something i could get into. a chapter here and there while waiting in line somewhere or on the subway, in a taxi. i never thought reading books on anything other than paper would appeal to me, but since i am getting used to being online and emailing on my phone, it is becoming something i'm willing to think about.

When I spent some time at NARAL's blog, I ran into a bit of "Hillary or Bust" attitude. In fact, that was one commenter's handle. I went further to a web site premised on the idea the Hillary is going to be #44. That site included favorable citations of Free Republic's web site and El Gasbo, the evil radio nitwit. Now, Ferraro chimes in.
Elsewhere on the web, Quiddity floats an idea of a new sort of October surprise that might help get the hilbots over the finish line.
