#BlackMonday #StockMarketCrash #FinancialHistory #WallStreet

What really happened on October 19, 1987? Step inside the chaos of Black Monday, the day Wall Street turned into a financial carnival ride with no safety harness. 📉🎢

In this episode of Dollar Dopamine, we travel back to the 80s—when hair was big, phones were bricks, and the stock market crash wiped out fortunes faster than you can say "margin call." We break down the panic, the glitches, and the sheer madness of the largest single-day percentage drop in US stock market history.

From the frantic trading floors of New York to the confused living rooms of Main Street USA, discover how a perfect storm of computer glitches, global jitters, and human emotion caused the financial markets to melt down. Plus, we explore the lessons learned (or ignored) and why every modern investor still looks nervously at the charts when October rolls around. 🎃💸

In this video, we cover:

The atmosphere in the USA during the 1987 financial boom (and bust).
💥 The mechanics of the 1987 Crash and why "portfolio insurance" failed.
🤯 How mass panic and herd behavior drive market volatility.
🍕 Why money, like life, is best handled with a sense of humor.
