What about Put Options by Soros?
We need to confirm whether that is actually true or not.
And then confirm the MGM stock prices since the trades, and then prices after the shooting.

Interesting theory.
Do we have any high-priority political targets among the victims?

Not if there were a few intended targets that needed to seem random.
And the random deaths are also useful to those who can profit from a random mass shooting.
The expression derives from a series of incidents from 1986 onward in which United States Postal Service (USPS) workers shot and killed managers, fellow workers, and members of the police or general public in acts of mass murder. Between 1970 and 1997, more than 40 people were killed by current or former employees in at least 20 incidents of workplace rage.
After firing thirty rounds of ammunition, Spencer barricaded herself inside her home for nearly seven hours. While there she had a telephone conversation with a journalist who reported that she had said: "I don't like Mondays."

What I find strangest is the house with no furniture and the fridge-sized safe full of guns. Who lives in a house like that? I guess the answer is: someone who's going to snap and start murdering strangers.
Simple answer - no one does. Seems the house was set up to look weird, and to make him seem kookier, when all was revealed. Perhaps there is a simpler reason that the neighbors didn't really seem to know either of them. They didn't actually live there at all.

Usually the news media would be all over the neighbors, prodding them for any tidbits. Has any media interviewed the people within Paddock's town...Mesquite, NV.?

Right. Paddock said that he didn't like country music.

Or so we have been led to believe.
I still think compelling motive is important.
But *they* are convincing us that it is not unusual for some people to just want to kill a lot of random people.
My 46 years of human experience say people need more motive than that to kill.
Motive used to be a very important piece of circumstantial evidence. Now...not so much.
The human condition hasn't changed that much in my lifetime. I am skeptical or in denial.
