I guarantee you every member of Congress used their classified briefings on Israel to make changes in their stock portfolio, and it’s not even illegal.
My first exposure to this story implied it might have been western traders, not Hamas.
Western, Eastern, Hamas… a lot of speculative trading is done based on rumors, what better than rumors which actually come true.
As was mentioned, these were very high shorts, implying a far higher confidence than mere rumors.
Yes, this was a sharp level of activity.
Given the rumours about Egypt giving a warning 3 days earlier, I don’t think Hamas is likely the only potential source or beneficiary of the information.
Do you have a link? That would actually be more interesting because it would mean they’d have had advanced knowledge. Which raises “how” and “who”.
How dare you convict the Palestinian rebels!? /s
If you’re trying to make a statement about Palestinian sympathizers, you’re off the mark. Few people are defending Hamas’ attacks, but there are a lot of people criticizing Israel’s war crimes.
This article title is very misleading (not unexpected given to he source). It is better to read the original study.
