RE: Black Monday

Good Morning Tom.
I recall you previously sharing your story about your 1987 experience and your epiphany regarding AIM.

By adding the Wikipedia article to it on the 33rd anniversary of Black Monday sure does put your story in perspective. The 20 minute ticker delay for most people probably amplified the 'panic' by at least an order magnitude.

If memory serves, I happened to call out sick that day (a rare occurrence for me).
I watched Stuart Varney report on it as he was with CNBC at the time.
Crazy day.

Best Regards, Steve (The Grabber)
