Yesterday..............October 19th

In reflecting on yesterday's 18th anniversary I remember vividly sitting in the LaJolla offices of Drexel Burnham Lambert with my great friend, Maurice Altshuler. Talking about the future, the NYSE system collapse, our futures, the future of the market. We weren't worried at the time I didn't think. We would be okay. We had our health. Maurice never let on that he had an unsecured debit in a new account for about a million dollars from an overseas account. That alone is a tribute to my friend thru the years I have known him since 1984. Steady, solid and true to his core. The orders we placed that day for clients were in "cyber"space. We had no clue at what price, how much, or even if, orders had been executed. It is an anniversary I will never forget.
