Hi Ken. I see you've noticed the drop off in participation on this board. Well, that didn't happen overnight, but clearly it has dropped way off. My own personal take on it is this happened slowly over time when our favorite little book went out of print
Could be, but my note was just that the recent daily activity just kind of disappeared suddenly. No matter. The lack of new interest in Lichello's work is understandable. So much more available with the internet, it's hard to break through. Maybe we need to advertise!
I never got into Wall Street Week.way back whenever. Wasn't actively investing at the time. Or any other business centered show.
Once we got cable (1984-ish), I frequented CNBC for a while but kind of soured on it. Hosts were making it all about them, or being too 'theatrical' like Jim Cramer. But I always liked Stuart Varney. I happened to be home sick on Black Monday, 1987 and was watching him report on it. Kind of scary...
The 1987 stock market crash, or Black Monday, is known for being the largest single-day percentage decline in U.S. stock market history. On Oct. 19, the Dow fell 22.6 percent, a shocking drop of 508 points
...but 500+ point swings are pretty common nowadays +/-2%.
But not 22.6% drops! With the Dow @ 33,500 right now, that would equate to over 7500 points! Both Varney and Maria Bartiromo are on Fox Business now and I tune them in on TV or Sirius XM almost every day. At least for a little while.
