The Day Joe Granville Crashed the Market (Video)

Posted by

In the course of my research for a project I have in the works, I came across this amazing little nugget of archival footage.

The below clip is a business broadcast from the CBC circa January 1981. It chronicles the day after legendary newsletter nutcase Joe Granville singlehandedly caused a stock market panic. I love everything about this clip, especially the clothes and haircuts and computers they’re all using. And Granville himself makes an appearance, he’s f***ing awesome.

This is amazing…
