I am willing to bet that you doin't even have a stake in this company.. So why are u even here commenting? And how many hours a day do they let you play on the computer the in psyche ward these days??
"Blood money" isn't buying into a stock which you think will go up because of a disaster. "Blood money" is working for a credit card company and setting people most badly affected by the disaster so they will never be able to get out from under the interest and penalties. Blood money is selling gas at a high price when you know next week the gulf will be almost totally operational again. "Blood money" is being a part of the media and selling fear to promote your ratings during a disaster hoping people will watch your station because you've exaggerated the most and they will be hooked and watch you after the disaster is over - increasing you advertisement income.
I could go on for pages. It depends on what you do with the money you make on stocks which will go up because of the disaster. Who are you taking money from? The victims of the disaster or those who are in a totally different and comfortable position. I don't think the victims of a disaster would be trading stock.
Domer, if you buy shares of a recontruction company and they sell some into the run it could provide them with funds to mobilize more effectively. Just a thought.
