JDN-- Actually Black Monday was a blessing to me. I had been running all over the country for a year and had pulled almost everything into cash,, Mon I was a shocked as all,, Tues wondering what to do,, Wed buying everything I could and when I ran out of issues I had been thinking of dumped cash into mutual funds,,, best thing that happened to me in the mkt,, nothing but great luck with the timing,, another 3 - 5 weeks and I would have been 100% in the mkt again,,, but Uncle Als 1/2 point move did the deed and he knows it,,,He does not want the legacy of having done the same thing twice,,

Black Monday. Didn't know anything about it until I reached the hotel room and turned on the TV to watch Monday night football. Ruined my whole evening! Mikey

Black Monday... A crisp, cloudless, blue sky day in southern New England. One of those rare, truly lovely days that when they come along, one retains fond memories of years later. I had stayed home to work on a paper. As usual, I was writing at the kitchen table with Boston's PBS radio station on for background sound. Intersperced with the classical music (morning) then musical show tunes (afternoon--Oklahoma and Carrosel that particular day) were blow by blow accounts of the market plunge. When the market finally closed, I put on a jacket, went outside, and stood on the porch for maybe 15 minutes looking around. A doe was at the edge of the woods. It was so peaceful; the stock market plunge seemed so alien, so unreal compared to the loveliness of that day. After dinner some friends called to ask, "Are you alright?" I remember exactly what I replied, "Yes, I have my health." I didn't sell anything. Everything--including CPQ--came back. Lynn
