Last week’s Wall Street roller coaster ride occurred under Mercury retrograde, but I didn’t realize that the crash in October 1987 also occurred under a cloud of technological suspicion. Like the May 6 event, there were no major news events that could have stimulated the crash, and it seemed to come from nowhere. Like the May 6 event, it is suspected that technological glitches impaired the normal flow of market trading, making it seem as though a major sell-off was occurring.
Like the May 6 event, Mercury was retrograde.
I’m just saying. (Here’s a good article about the 1987 crash.)
Another interesting coincidence; the vote on the ‘break up the big banks’ amendment was the day after the stock market ‘glitch’. Shot across the bow perhaps?
You gotta wonder, KD. It’s hard not to be suspicious these days.
This has some interesting comments:
