Having experienced it, I would say watch it if you haven't yet...it was pretty good.

Now whyTF would someone want to watch that. In the scheme of things it was a blip. Now if the Dow drops from here 3000 points I would pay good money for that. Why ? Because the financial economy is much more globally intertwined than it was in 87. Also we have these ugly things called derivatives. $450 trillion or so. WTF would happen with these in the market ? If we dropped 20, it might not just stop there and continue. A few economies could be wiped out.
