The air on Wall Street was still filled with the dust of tragedy on Monday,
Sept. 17 when the New York Stock Exchange reopened its doors after its
longest shuttering since the bank runs of the Great Depression. When the
opening bell rang once again, market officials got both what they had hoped
for and what they had feared: investors sold fast and hard, but rationally
and without panic, and the hurriedly rebuilt wiring of America's financial
system held firm. |
