    Unusual Option Market Activity and the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001*

    Allen M. Poteshman

    Abstract:

    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 finding is consistent with informed investors having traded options in advance of the attacks.
