        I was working at the Federal Reserve Board when this happened. They decided to put safe guards in place including NYSE Rule 48. We got past Ravi Batra's "The Great Depression of 1990", only to have "The Great Recession" in 2008 that almost collapsed the world economy.

        That was 30 years ago. Never mind that the Stock Market GREW BY 35% AFTER POTUS TRUMP TOOK OFFICE! Democrats point it out ONLY WHEN it goes down, but somehow they were blind to the MASSIVE INCREASE after the election. 🤔 THANK GOD FOR DONALD JOHN TRUMP!!!!!

        What the heck is your problem? I retweeted a story having to do with history. You trumpkins need to relax a bit. But while you are here, here is the Dow from end of Bush II through Obama, and then Trump.pic.twitter.com/hDxzSHRbg8

        My problem is the Left giving Obama credit for the increase since Trump took over. Yes, it went up during Obama, but it WAS SO LOW IT HAD NO WAY TO GO BUT UP! O's GDP growth was lowest in POTUS history! I noticed you STILL DIDN'T GIVE TRUMP CREDIT FOR THE INCREASE. WHY???

        I sent you a graph showing his increase. It's the tiny portion on the right side. It's surprising that it went up the entire obama term. Long bull market, due to correct.

        Best first year Presidential Stock Markets in history. #1 - FDR 96.1% #2 - Trump 32.1% #3 - Obama - 28% FDR & Obama inherited bad economy's. FDR's worst ever. (Great Depression) Trump expanded a HEALTHY MARKET (Harder to do) in a few months Obama's should have been much better.

        2/ that my new fledging 401(k) must have taken a big hit but happy I was not near retirement age like so many colleagues at work. Little did I realize my ”1987” was 21 years away in 2008 and little time to recover before my retirement time. As someone said, Timing is everything

        I was making markets on the trading floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange that day. Awful as it was, for perspective, consider that it was the buying opportunity of a lifetime. Wish I had enough characters to praise Greenspan's actions at the Fed.

        The question should be why was it called "black" instead of green or Reagan Monday?
