For the kids in the room: Borders was a bookstore. Books are paper versions of Kindles.

Borders was fun. You could just browse, or page though your recent purchase while sipping a coffee in the cafe. The local outlet had book readings and such on weekends, so on a Friday or Saturday night the place was packed. I was very sorry to see it close.

Sort of reminiscent of the rock-em, sock-em market action during the financial crisis. I'd leave work at 3:30P with the Dow at one level, then arrive at the gym 15 minutes later to see it had careened 100 points (or more).

100 points seem so quaint now. If it isn't some wild 500 point swing then it doesn't really count.

I don't know if I can ever recover from this loss.

Well, that's the thing, even back then at 100 it was only around 1% or so.

A 100 point swing in the DOW in 1982 seems quaint, you have to agree.

Those were the halcyon days of @Piobaire's trading experiences. Don't trigger him too much

The only thing I was trading in 82 was body fluids with high school girls (because I was in high school, you degens.)

How many different mullet cuts did you have in 82?
