So let's talk about the stock market crash that had everybody shook. Black Monday. Super random. Have y'all actually seen the show Black Monday with Don Cheadle and Regina Hall? It was a wild show. But anyway, so it was October 19th, 1987. Out of nowhere, the Dow dropped 22.6% in one day. It was the biggest one-day percentage crash in U.S. history. People were panicking, selling everything, the headlines were screaming. But you know what was actually super wild? So back then, the Dow was sitting at just 1,738 points. Today, it's over $37,000. That's a 2,000% increase since the crash. So let that sink in for a second, okay? So from the panic to progress. So here's the lesson here: markets will crash, they always have, but they also recover and reward those who stay calm and stay invested. The people who didn't panic in 1987, they actually built serious wealth, and you can too. So if you don't let short-term fear mess with your long-term strategy, you should be good.
