David; RE> (Kennedy had just been assasinated, causing a spike lower in the markets that parallels the spike lower we're currently having to the T). ...
That spike down was the Cuban Missile Crises, which peaked in
OCT 62. People were scared s*htless, and likely not as scared
as they should have been.
It never came out till a couple years ago, But the General in Cuba
did not have good communications with the Kremlin, and stated
as fact, had we launched the assault the hawks wanted,
He would have had no choice but to counter with nuclear weapons,
and they had 18 of them loaded and cocked, and was ready to use
them he would not have needed an OK from the Kremlin had we
deployed the assult troops that were fully ready.
That would have started a nuclear war beyond the imagination
of most people reading this, and in fact no one would be reading
this had it happened, those left would still be putting the
pieces back together..there is only one other time I know
of that we may have come taht close and within hours of ending the
world as you know it. Most people are still in the dark about
both times, we were like 5min before dooms day, and the people
responsible still don't wont admitt how bad they screwed up.
The Next year when JFK was assassinated the market did a little knee jerk and went right on up.
