Why did stock prices drop after 9/11?
investors tend panic , pull money out of market when don't feel it's safe.
after 9/11, didn't know going happen. foreign bank accounts frozen? shipping regulations make shipping more expensive? there more terrorist attacks? clients affected disappearance of financial businesses headquartered in wtc , utterly destroyed? go war? taxes raised go war?
