Quote from Buy1Sell2:
Of course, I made no specific claim of actual trading on Black Monday. Rather, I had indicated that I shorted the S&P in late August of 87. The reason that we need your Nov pork belly(ie) chart is due to the fact your story is well above the norm and needs to be verified. I happen to know what bellies did that day --they had a down day of 1.15. Not really much of a move if it was to save the rest of the portfolio. You would have had to have been wildly overextended in bellies to do the stick save. This will be the last post on this subject from me. Story was entertaining though , I will give you that.
