LOL!!! Check this out that I received from a "friend" after the close........ LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>>>>>>>>> I thought you might want to take a look at some '87 headlines and compare them to today. Exchange the 9/23/87 headline for today's record point hop. Then replace "interest rate fears" with "profit concerns and overseas implosion." What do you want to bet that the headlines after this crash won't say "doomsday" or "it is OVER." They'll say something like "If you hold for the L-T, you're OK" and ensure we get one of the worst bear markets of all time instead of the 6 month recovery we got '87. Then again, maybe all of this is just a coincidence? :) Stocks Set Still Another Record, Getting Boost From Dollar, Bonds Wall Street Journal, 9/26/97 Brokers Begin Pushing Margin Loans- But Critics Say Borrowers Should Beware Wall Street Journal, 9/26/97 Blue Chips Return Earlier Gains; Some Predict Start of a Correction Wall Street Journal, 9/27/97 Stock Prices Fall for Second Day As Feeble Recovery Effort Fails Wall Street Journal, 9/28/97 An Appraisal: Many See Stocks Ending Their Bond-Like Slump Wall Street Journal, 9/31/97 Stocks Ease as Jittery Investors Worry Over Dollar, Bond Prices Wall Street Journal, 9/3/87 Stocks Continue in Lower Trend As Some Institutions Take Profits Wall Street Journal, 9/4/87 An Appraisal: Some Investors Fear Moves by Fed Could Hurt Stocks Wall Street Journal, 9/7/87 Stocks Tumble After Early Gains; Interest Rate Fears Are Blamed Wall Street Journal, 9/22/87 Stock Prices Soar in Heavy Trading; Industrials Rise Record 75.23 Points Wall Street Journal, 9/23/87 Stocks Ease as Trading Pace Slows; Interest Rate Rise Prompts Selling Wall Street Journal, 9/30/87 Stock Prices Decline as Sharp Rise in Short-Term Rates Spurs Selling Wall Street Journal, 10/9/87 Stocks Plunge, Partly in Reaction To Sell Signals From Forecasters Wall Street Journal, 10/8/87 Industrials Post a Record Drop; Trade Data, Interest Rates Cited Wall Street Journal, 10/15/87 Stocks Plunge in Heavy Trading As Selling Intensifies Late in Day Wall Street Journal, 10/16/87 Is the Party Almost Over? -U.S. News and World Report, 10/26/87 What's Next?
