A blog I never heard of before today points out that "it's already possible to bet on terrorism: all you have to do is buy a large quantity of stock-index puts", as they apparently did in 9/11, but that in this other market, at least we would get better information. The opportunity for profit from evil has expanded much less than the information we would acquire on it.
