First TARP Vote Failure

September 29, 2008:

Following the bankruptcies of Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual, The Dow Jones Industrial Average falls 777.68 points, the largest single-day point loss in its history.

That day was pretty busy.  It seems like it was longer than 3 years ago.  I was sowing wheat and listening to the news on the radio, when I went home, I checked out the grisly results in the markets.  That was a pretty wild ride.  That field of wheat did really well, too.
