💥 BLACK MONDAY — The Day Wall Street Froze (Oct 19, 1987)

In a single trading day, global markets entered free-fall:

• Dow Jones: –22.6%

• S&P 500: –20.5%

Billions erased in hours. Analysts stunned. Phones ringing non-stop. Panic everywhere.

The shock forced a market overhaul. From this crash came circuit breakers — automatic trading halts to stop chaos when selling becomes hysteria.

Lesson that never expires:

Markets can collapse fast — but they also rebuild stronger. Every crash resets the system, forces discipline, and prepares the next phase of growth.

Pain creates resilience. Volatility creates wisdom.
