- Some people use calendars as mental dartboards. Evidently,
Sherman is one of them. In 1987, six months ahead of time, he pointed to
Monday, October 19. He had certain friends and relatives with their rear
ends parked in Wall Street. So, he told them it was time to get the Hell
out. Their responses were insulting.
-
- "Look, you are one of those not college-educated
assholes. What do you know about business and finance? You have an MBA
or something?"
-
- His retort availed him nothing. "I head a group
that for years and years studies the entanglements of Judges and Banks.
We call them Banker-Judges. And note, please, we have caused quite a number
of them to be sent to prison for bribery."
-
- And they further hurled their verbal bricks. "So
what. You are not a known pundit."
-
- On the afternoon of October 19, Sherman was eating a
late lunch with a friend, while both were watching tv. "Hey, look
at that. Dow-Jones is down 500. [At the time, that was big, since it had
declined from 2200.]"
-
- His friend suggested, "Let's drive down to La Salle
Street. Maybe we'll witness them jumping from the windows," said the
friend. Sherman shot that down, "Look, following 1929, the major suicides
were years and years later, when people ran out of money. Two things now.
One, in the new buildings, the windows don't open and the roof access is
locked. Second, if one of the losers jumps, it may damage the roof of the
car, and our auto insurance would not cover the roof damage."
-
- The Saturday after the 1987 Crash, was a family wedding.
He stopped several of them, "Well, did you get your ass out of Wall
Street like I suggested?" Some just glared at him, picked up their
plate of wedding supper, and moved faraway from him and his wheelchair.
But, one started shrieking, "If know-nothings like you would just
shut their rotten mouth, we would continue having prosperity."
-
- Thus written off, Sherman answered, "So, if I left
the planet, the good times will roll, right?"
-
- After 1987, some just stopped talking to Sherman, the
Calendar Man.
-
- In 2003, for months and months, Sherman again pointed
to the calendar, and told a few friends and acquaintances. "You see
this, these dates in October. This is when the Crash may begin." And
the responses, as in 1987, were a put down. "Look my broker is sharp.
He says now is the time to buy. He says those uneducated in business and
finance, like you, are just plain stupid. "
-
- Thus zeroed out, Sherman replied, "Fine. Buy yourself
silly. Hey, don't call me collect from the crooked Bankruptcy Court."

-
- Why do market crashes tend to happen, or at least start,
in October? Satanist numerology? Voodoo hexes? The Aristocracy and their
"October" hang-up? Blind coincidence?
-
- Historical footnote: Chicago gangster Al Capone became
a local hero after the 1929 Crash. He and a team of his gunmen descended
on La Salle Street, site of numerous stockbrokers. Armed with submachine
guns, Capone's mob pushed their way into brokerage offices. Gruff, he and
his pals barked, "Hey, you, here is a list of people waiting outside
here. Give these people their money back. Or, we'll make cheese out of
you and blow up your joint." At least that was the story that grew
up with the Windy City.
-
- As a young man, Sherman lived near the Chicago Mafia
enclave of Cicero. Sherman's family bought milk, a gallon at a time, from
a brick building dairy, right past the Chicago boundary into Cicero. The
milk people were asked, "How come this building has so many holes
in the walls?"
-
- The answer, matter-of-a-factly, "This was Capone's
headquarters. There was a shoot-out with beer-runners in the corrupt police."
-
- Is a crash soon underway? Stay tuned.
