Today is Black Friday: Friday the 13th. There have been a number of events known as "Black Fridays" in history. Usually, these events are devastating. Some historians propose that the origin of the "Black Friday" was the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of Knights Templars on October 13, 1307 (Friday), to be later tortured into "admitting" heresy. Today, the concept of Friday the 13th has been extended through the 'black Friday' concept to incorporate anything really bad that happens on a Friday. In history there have been a number of events that happened on a Friday and are known as Black Friday: Black Friday (1869), a financial crisis in the United States Black Friday (1889), the day of the Johnstown Flood.

Black Friday (1919), a riot in Glasgow stemming from industrial unrest Black Friday (1921), day on which British dockers' and railwaymen's union leaders announced their decision not to call for strike action against wage reductions for miners Black Friday (1929), a stock market crash in the United States Black Friday (1939), a day of devastating fires in Australia Black Friday (1945), largest air battle over Norway, over Sunnfjord Hollywood Black Friday (1945), the day the six-month-old Confederation of Studio Unions (CSU) strike boiled over into a bloody riot at the Warner Bros. studios leading to the eventual breakup of the CSU.

Today is Black Friday: Friday the 13th.

There have been a number of events known as "Black Fridays" in history. Usually, these events are devastating.

Some historians propose that the origin of the "Black Friday" was the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of Knights Templars on October 13, 1307 (Friday), to be later tortured into "admitting" heresy.

Today, the concept of Friday the 13th has been extended through the 'black Friday' concept to incorporate anything really bad that happens on a Friday. In history there have been a number of events that happened on a Friday and are known as Black Friday:

Black Friday (1869), a financial crisis in the United States
Black Friday (1889), the day of the Johnstown Flood.
Black Friday (1910), WSPU took militant action when the Conciliation Bill failed.
Black Friday (1919), a riot in Glasgow stemming from industrial unrest
Black Friday (1921), day on which British dockers' and railwaymen's union leaders announced their decision not to call for strike action against wage reductions for miners
Black Friday (1929), a stock market crash in the United States
Black Friday (1939), a day of devastating fires in Australia
Black Friday (1945), largest air battle over Norway, over Sunnfjord
Hollywood Black Friday (1945), the day the six-month-old Confederation of Studio Unions (CSU) strike boiled over into a bloody riot at the Warner Bros. studios leading to the eventual breakup of the CSU.
Black Friday (1978), a massacre of protesters in Iran
Black Friday (1982), known in Britain after Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, sparking the Falklands War
Black Friday (1987), the day an hour-long F4 category tornado ran through the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Black Friday (2004), a crackdown on a peaceful protest in the capital city of Maldives, Malé

The crash in 1929 was on Oct 28 and 29 which were Monday (Rogerdoger stocks never go down Monday <_< ) and Tuesday not Friday. Oct 19 87 was also Monday and the low on Tuesday the 20th at least for the Dow and SPX and OEX.

Rogerdoger stocks never go down Monday


Zedor,
Sorry if my post was misleading due to limited space on the title line:
"Monday has never ben down"
It was refering specifically to only one Monday in a 4 year period.
Here it is: week-end post. LINK
It was refering to the stats from Mike Burk which showed:
This past Monday, the second Monday in July before OPEX has not been down in years.
That is the only Monday I was talking about.
Lot's of Mondays are down.
Sorry I may have been unclear.

Here's Mike's quote:

During the 3rd year of the Presidential Cycle the OTC has been up 64% of the time with an average gain of 1.15%, half of that gain has been made on Monday which has never been down. Over all years the OTC has also been up 64% of the time with about half the average gain of year 3. The SPX has been modestly positive over all periods.

No doubt we are at the crash land. So it's going to be the Monday July 6th for the crash? :lol:
