From the Paper:

"Comparatively the results on the stock market, after nine-eleven and the Kennedy Assassination were similar in many ways namely, both event aftermaths include stock decline in many areas, and are preceded by economic recession. Yet, in additional to the similarities of the two the main and most substantial difference, with regard to exchange effects are the relative location of events in the nine-eleven events causing the temporary though significant close of the New York Stock Exchange for a history making period of time, the stocks faltering in very specific and important industries in addition to overall and the international and national outcry for the importance of a quick recovery to avoid an all out crash, something not expected in the aftermath of the assassination event."
