I think I read somewhere that Nostradamus liked to play games with numerology, so I'd like to throw some red meat out for traders with occult sensibilties, off-beat money managers who turn to their horoscopes immediately after the stock tables, or investors who never miss an episode of the X-Files. Although last year's Asian Contagion crash was greater in terms of DJ points, the October 1987 crash was much more severe in percentage terms and what it did to investor psychology. That crash happened on 10/19/87, exactly ten days after the rare chronologic occurrence when the day's digits decline sequentially, namely 10/9/87 (One Zero Nine Eight Seven).
