Starlight - look at the numbers- How does one profit by $73 mil on 1.35 Mill in stocks that cost less than $40 per share, and lost no more than 20% of their total value in the first place ? Entirely bs. MGM stock didn''t suffer squat compared to the crashes across the entire market after 9-11. Take a look at the trading of MGM for the past 6months, 1,3,5, 10 and 15 years - Hell, I would have sold any MGM stock in early Sept if I had had any. Any trader with a profitable long position would have been looking at the same move. I looked at ALL those charts before penning my previous reply on the matter- and stand by it.
What IDIOTS would PUBLICLY short or Publicly sell a company, and then turn around and torpedo that company ? Good god - that is absolutely insane reasoning, for BOTH the CEO of MGM and Soros. I consider it to verge on criminal libel. It is certainly libelous by any legal standards. Do people really think they (Soros and the CEO) are so freaking stupid that either person would do so ? If they REALLY were (and they were not) involved in some type of conspiracy to profit off the VEGAS attack - the money trail would be IMPOSSIBLE to trace. Both those men are more than capable of such simple financial concealment.
The carelessness in reporting on this stuff is absolutely stupifying. The 'reporters' are lying about the numbers, and twisting with insupportable conjecture every single thing.
Sorry - I have had my fill of the complete and total bs that is being thrown around on the net about Vegas.
Even Paul Craig Roberts has completely lost his mind in tinfoil on this stuff - not that he doesn't already have an extremely poor record of playing fast and loose with historical facts.
