Black Monday?

I remember my dad picking me up from volleyball practice after school that day. It was the first time he ever mentioned anything about the stock market to me.

Futures are up slightly. Why was Black Monday trending? I thought it may have last week, after what happened in Israel. Nothing then either.

The signal is when Ms. Pelosi starts selling.

I remember that day or better, week. I was on a trade mission overseas at an oil and gas trade show. The only real communication back to North America in those days was via telex or booking a long distance phone call a day or two in advance at the hotel KGB office business centre.

Didn’t really affect me personally. In those days my pay check went into paying weekly mortgage payments at 10.5%, taxes and utilities. Savings were a future dream.

I was in college. I remember seeing Reagan come out and tell everyone the economic fundamentals were strong. There were real fears that it was 1929 all over again. In fact, I remember a news story interviewing the one old man still in the business who had been working in 1929

S&P is up slightly.

Are none of you disturbed by the racial element in this thread?

[Renauda]

No, should we?

I am so tempted to make an inappropriate joke.

As long as the B is capitalized I’m ok.
