In the end of day on October, 19th, 1987 I have come into shop of Swiss firm "Piaget" in Zurich to buy watch. The seller behind a counter, the Swiss of average years dressed as any of bankers which I saw on Banhofshtrasse in financial area of Zurich, has laid out two pair of clocks on a black velvet small pillow and waited, while I will consider them. For a second my sight has slipped from hours towards street on an external electronic board of any bank. I do not read in German, but all the same have understood that was on a board. Dow-Johns's index for the industrial companies has failed on 500 points. "It, should be, has broken", — I have told to the seller, specifying towards a bank board. Also has chosen one of hours that it is better to consider them. "No, the sir, - it is quiet, with sharp Swiss accent the seller has told. — today the market of the American actions has fallen". My person during an instant has turned white. I have returned hours to the seller and have rushed to a door. "The sir, hours are not necessary to you?", - the become puzzled seller has asked. "Forget about hours, — I have thrown through a shoulder. — it is necessary to me back in Chicago". Having returned to hotel, I have seen ominously flickering indicator of messages on my phone. The wife and the brother who has informed same that the seller in shop called. The share market has fallen. 2 it: BLOOD, SWEAT AND SUCCESS TEARS My first trip to Europe has appeared short. Us was seven — all businessmen, and I in the 30 years the youngest in this 10-day excursion to Europe on rest and a few to relax. After a dinner last Friday we have gone to Italy, then to Switzerland. When I in second half of day on Friday had a seat aboard the plane from Chicago to New York, I had a short position under 25 futures on S&P — to future contracts on share index Standart and Poor's 500, but I have left the order on their liquidation on closing of the auctions. By then, as I have taken off from New York for Europe, I have made on this transaction $250 000. On a result of year I already was in plus on $2 million. The trip promised to be magnificent.
