Today is the 25th Anniversary of 1987 Stock market crash, anyone remember that? What were you doing at the time. LOL

I was just out of college, working about a year and remember not thinking much about it. I bought a new pickup that week in fact, my 1st and only new vehicle. It was a 1988 Chevy S-10 truck.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

I was on Coronado Island preparing for a deployment . I had always has a soft spot for the inventor of the transistor so I called in a market order for who ever owned Bell Labs. Taught me a lesson about market orders. My order hit several dollars above the market price which was falling like a lead balloon. I suspect I could have contested it but never did. I sold it a couple of years latter at at a loss.

When I think about it I kick myself twice.

I bought Apple stock that day. The guy taking the order thought I was crazy.
