It was the morning of September 10th. The markets had just reopened after the terrorist attacks the day before, and there was a lot of uncertainty in the air. Many investors were selling off their stocks, and there was a lot of volatility in the market.
The events of 9/11 had a profound impact on the stock market
Some people were predicting that the market would crash, and that it would be a good time to short stocks. I was one of those people. I believed that the market was going to continue to fall, and that there would be opportunities to make money by shorting stocks. I did a lot of research and found a few stocks that I thought were good candidates to short.
On the morning of September 10th, I placed my first trade. I shorted 100 shares of XYZ stock at $10 per share. The stock immediately began to fall, and by the end of the day, it was down to $8 per share. I had made a profit of $200 on the trade. The next day, 9/11, will forever be remembered as a dark day in American history. The stock market crashed, and many people lost a lot of money. My short position on XYZ stock became very profitable, and I ended up making a lot of money on the trade.
Many investors decided to short stocks in the days leading up to 9/11
I’m not going to lie; I made a lot of money shorting stocks on 9/10/01. It was one of the most profitable days of my life. I take no joy in profiting from such a tragic event, but I’m also not going to apologize for making money. If you’re an investor, then you know that making money is the name of the game.
So, what can we learn from this? First, always do your own research before making any investment decisions. Second, be aware of the risks involved in shorting stocks. And finally, don’t feel guilty about making money. If you’re doing it ethically and within the bounds of the law, then you have nothing to feel guilty about.
