Factual Questions

Does anyone recall the day and date of the “crash” of the NYSE in Oct 1987? I realize we’re preoccupied with greater concerns, but I need to know for personal reasons…

I think it ws 10/10/87, maybe? Was it a Thurs.?

Thanks,

October 19, 1987. It was called “Black Monday”, so it probably wasn’t a Thursday. :wink:
