đ„ WALL STREET MELTDOWN â BLACK MONDAY (October 19, 1987) đ„
That day changed financial history forever. đ
In just one trading session, U.S. markets saw their biggest crash ever:
S&P 500: down 20.5%
Dow Jones: down 22.6%
Billions of dollars disappeared in hours. Traders were in shock, phones wouldnât stop ringing, and the NYSE floor turned into chaos. đ±
Screens flashed red as portfolios lost value in minutes â the world watched in disbelief. đ
But from that disaster came progress. đĄ
Black Monday led to the creation of âcircuit breakersâ â systems that pause trading when markets move too fast, helping prevent total collapse. âïž
And history reminds us of one thing:
đ Markets fall, but they always recover.
Every crash plants the seed for the next rise. đ±đ„
Black Monday wasnât just a crash â it was a lesson in courage and resilience. đȘđ°
