SOMEperspective of serious stuff

ha everything is turning into a fading memory but I remember black Monday 1987 when everyone was selling I bought AT&T. I thought it would be cool to own part of Bell Labs because they invented the transistor.
My first training in electronics was on vacuum tube theory. Nothing was cooler than transistor technology.
That worked pretty well.

except now it is GLOBAL......I hope your optimism is correct, because THIS time it is different.
THE WORLD is involved in this fubar,not just AMERICA

Yea, well,my story is this......I had a manager(AT&T) that was telling me to hold my stock, because it was going to 95 in 95. I sold and made a nice,neat profit BEFORE it tanked.... 95
was never going to happen.....(don't know what it is,as of this date.but back then I knew THAT
was wishful thinking.

How does today's 1300 jump figure in with that comparison? I keep hearing people on the left making this leap and I don't see how it compares.

It is a cumulative number.....

SO-O the feds dropped the rate and it STILL remains serious.....almost 800 point drop and vix is at 38.23.....how low will it go and how HIGH will the vix hit?
