Black Monday: When Wall Street Shook
đïž October 19, 1987 â a milestone moment in financial history.
In just one brutal day, markets collapsed:
đ The Dow Jones dropped 22.6%
đ The S&P 500 plunged 20.5%
đ Global markets tumbled in its wake
But the story wasnât just about the crash â it was a wake-up call.
Black Monday revealed how quickly fear can overwhelm financial systems. In response, regulators introduced circuit breakers â automatic pauses in trading to slow panic selling and protect stability.
đ§ Key takeaway: Markets can fall faster than anyone expects⊠yet they also rebuild.
Every downturn drives change, strengthens oversight, and helps shape smarter, more resilient investors.
Market shocks may test confidence â but they often pave the way for a stronger future.
