At one time my wife and I owned a Travel Company, one day two Eastern Airlines pilots came in on a PR tour telling everyone not to worry about Eastern Airlines because they were here for the long run and weren’t going anywhere.

Less than a week later they filed for bankruptcy and quit flying.

I could be mistaken but one time Lehman Brothers said their financial condition was strong, soon after they closed the door and got rid of everyone.

My cousin came to NYC as a long term consultant for Drexel Burnham. We hadn't see her yet, but we had to go quickly, because, because Drexel went out of business, and she was moving back within a week.

I knew some people who worked there and had a lot of family money invested. Poof.
