First 10 minutes of Wall Street Week episode from Friday October 23, 1987 just after the market crash on black Monday October 19. Hosted by Louis Rukeyser, guests included John Templeton, Steven Einhorn and William Schreyer.
I was born in 1976, but I remember this show like it was yesterday. Always was on at my house on Fri night. The music gives me fond memories of the good ole days.
It took me a day to remember but it was Pete Colhoun who fielded my question about doughnuts. He recommended Dunkin' Donuts which in 1987 might have been far-fetched but with its IPO this past year has made a small fortune for investors.
Ten months earlier (Jan. 1987) Lou read my question to one of the panelists (can't remember the name, he was balding and always wore bow ties) about investing in doughnut companies. Then Lou punned his response with "Don't let your mind turn to jelly, this is the place to come for the whole truth and make a lot of dough." For the use of my question I was mailed a transcript of that particular show.
Louis Rukeyser was a Friday night fixture in my home for two decades.
@bcbxmn You know, I thought I was the only one who couldn't wait to watch WSW with my dad. It got to the point where I would hum along with the beginning jingle. I really miss those days.
@rrockw go to part two.... Lou, we miss ya..

More than money, markets need confidence and trust to function and grow.
This man inspired CONFIDENCE.
And TRUST.
His guests did the same.

I wonder what Rukeyser would think of Wall Street and the Fed today?
