9/11

[Experienced]

Holy moly. No offence but that's quite the crock if you think you are being a noble person and improving people's lives by posting on Stockhouse. Sounds a lot like the old Fantome. Is that you?

9/11 is always sobering but especially so when you think of it in these terms.  It has often been observed brothers or all the young men of one town were killed off at one fell swoop in WWI before protocols were developed to limit the possibility.  But that pales in comparison to 658 lost from one company in a single attack.  Can you imagine Mr. Lutnick's state of shock at
