So? 1987 actually turned out to be just a blip. This is what occurred: "In the days between October 14 and October 19, 1987, major indexes of market valuation in the United States dropped 30 percent or more. On October 19, 1987, a date that subsequently became known as "Black Monday," the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 508 points, losing 22.6% of its total value. According to Facts on File, the 1987 crash "marked the end of a five-year 'bull' market that had seen the Dow rise from 776 points in August 1982 to a high of 2,722.42 points in August 1987." however, the market rallied immediately after the crash, posting a record one-day gain of 102.27 the very next day and 186.64 points on Thursday October 22. It took only two years for the Dow to recover completely; by September of 1989, the market had regained all of the value it had lost in the '87 crash.2 Many feared that the crash would trigger a recession. Instead, the fallout from the crash turned out to be surprisingly small. This phenomenon was due, in part, to the intervention of the Federal Reserve. According to Facts on File, "The worst economic losses occurred on Wall Street itself, where 15,000 jobs were lost in the financial industry."3
I suppose that if someone caught me on video with a gann pinwheel in my office, I would do whatever possible to quash that video. No one should be subjected to that kind of embarrassment.
I still have my original PTJ video. Stored in an hermetically sealed vault awaiting the call from Sotheby's.
