I remember when the Dow broke a thousand for the first time, but that was long ago and far away.

What’s worse-Business Insider or Gateway Pundit. I gotta know.

Me too.

I also remember my father losing everything following this technical analysis crash-any-minute crap in the 90s, when the momentary success of the tech boom was there for all to see....

I remember back in the mid-60s when the DJIA was approaching 1,000 and everyone was itching to see it break through, but it fell back and didn’t break it until Nov. 1972. Then it dropped back down and didn’t break it again until Nov. 1980. Anyone recall what happened in those two months aside from the DJIA?

Ditto...Carrie Fisher was smokin' hot.

I remember that, too.

I remember sitting in the car outside a small market across from the Airport Marina Hotel in the Westchester section of Los Angeles, near the airport (LAX).

My father had just come out of the market and was pointing at a newspaper box with a big smile on his face.

The newspaper said, DOW HITS 1,000!

It must have been 40 years ago.

Interestingly enough, the Airport Marina Hotel that I mentioned was where Col. Greg “Pappy” Boyington and the Japanese pilot who shot him down in WW II met for the first time since the war.

Some years later, I saw that Japanese man at a Blue Angels Air Show at Point Mugu Naval Air Station near Oxnard, California.

He was wearing golf clothes and sitting at a table where he was selling his book, “Bye Bye Black Sheep.”

At the time, I didn’t understand who he was, otherwise I would have struck up a conservation with him.
