Reality Radio for a really great future.

I apparently am really, really old.

When I was a stockbroker for a veteran company, a division of something else, I don't know what it was.

And I saw the stock market that day on my little bunker Raymo quote machine

wife not at the time was also a broker there she stayed she was broker of the day god great day for that

that the biggest one day percentage drop in stock market history for the dow anyway presaged the coming Great Depression of

1988 remember the Great Depression of 1988 I was here and I was fully conscious I must have
