Paul:

I really hope the guys with the good memories will be around 5 years from now to help the rest of us. We'll be talking about today, what it meant, what led up to it, what followed, what we should have done, and what we would have done if-only, for many years.

Of course, it's possible that it's tomorrow (or another day some weeks off) we'll be talking about 5 years from now.

Wasn't the 1987 500 point DJIA drop from about 2500 - or a 20% decline? Should that happen these days it would be about 1500 points.
