Comparing This Week To The '87 Crash

Most Dow stocks were down more this week than during the week of the '87 crash. As shown, GM was down 45%, AA was down 41%, BAC was down 39%, CVX was down 27%, and AXP was down 25%. Only two Dow stocks were down less than 10% this week: JPM (-9%) and GE (-0.32%). Maybe the most important takeaway is the returns these Dow stocks have had since the '87 crash. Who knows when, but we will go up again.

It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another.
