11/22/63 and Wall Street Reaction - Tom Huston - 20-08-2013
Perhaps this question has been asked here on the forum but I have always been curious about the reaction in the markets the day of the assassination and the possibility (or not) of tracing active investors that day. I have read that the Dow and other indicators took an enormous nose dive after news of the assassination reached wall street investors. I have also heard there was an unusual amount of short positions taken on stocks that would have reaped huge profits with a market decline rivaling that of the 9/11 sell off. I don't know enough about how the privacy of individual investors is protected to speculate about whether those short positions could be traced but I think it would be more than interesting to find out who were the people/institutions were that were selling short that day..........
