I snapped this pic on wednesday, October 21st 2008 while visiting NYC for the first time in a few years. The purpose of the trip was business, but of course I took the opportunity to catch up with old friends (Maxwell) and take in a bit of the city.
This scene captured the moment: Nasdaq building after market close, all of the screens flashing RED! from stocks down 2, 3, 5 even 10% or more on the day. And the lovely, emblematic Yahoo! neon sign in the reflection, daring the triple Q to go lower.
There’s even an american flag reflection, just so no one forgets exactly where the financial center of the world is.
A great trip, at an interesting time.
