Once, when I was talking to an old friend
of mine who used to work with the managing of clients’ assets on the Stock
Market, he told me a quite suspicious story.
Certain day, out of nowhere he got a call
from the representative of one of his biggest clients to sell all the stocks of
a big airline and move the gain somewhere else.
This was extremely weird, as the stock
price of the company was pretty stable, and, specifically, this client’s
portfolio had many perks with this stake. He didn’t think much of it tho’ – sometimes
his clients did this for personal reasons (such as having a bad experience on a
plane of the company or etc).
A couple days after this, one of his
colleagues told him how the airline stock price started slowly falling – some
people were selling off their shares too, which were happily bought by the
market.
Then, in the next day, one of the airline
company’s plane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, in NY.
The stock market was closed for another
week.
