7-9 is fast approaching

[Wiregrass Willie]

Does anyone remember what happened 7-9 ? That was the seventh year
and 9th month of Ronald Reagan's presidency ?

This may jostle your memory.



That's right ! The stock market dropped 23%. What's the chance of a
recurrence in October of the 7th year of the Bush regime ?

A 23% drop would take the market to about 11,000. Which is just about
where it's been for most of time that Dungus Heapus has been in
office.

I think I'll sell now and avoid the October rush.

1. I thought the 9th month was September

Did we switch to a metric calendar and nobody told me? :shrug:

3. President is sworn on January 20.

I said the 7th year and ninth month of his administration. Not the year 1987. There is a small difference.

January 20 plus 9 months puts you where ? That's right. October, 1987.
