Black Monday is the name commonly given to the global, sudden, severe, and largely unexpected^[1] stock market crash on October 19, 1987.

Major world markets experienced a sharp decline in October 1987. Measured in USD markets declined by 20 to 46%

The severity of the crash sparked fears of extended economic instability^[6] or even a reprise of the Great Depression.^[7]

That day, exactly 34 years from now, I sadly experienced my first CRASH and lost 1/3 of my assets that week.
