Kenny Polcari - A Brief History of the NYSE Pt I 1980 - 1987

So, I’m searching around for my next guest and I come across this guy, Kenny Polcari. I’m looking at this guy and I’m thinking – he’s been on the New York Stock Exchange for like 40 years. He might know a thing or two. I normally try and keep interviews to 30 minutes but after 30 minutes we hadn’t even reached 1987. I love war stories and Kenny’s been there on the frontline on a bayonet charge through the markets. We’ve decided to record 4 episodes to chronicle this extraordinary story. Next episode will be about the Black Monday Crash of 1987 through to the tech boom, Y2K bug and the year 2000.

By the way the movie our failing memories was trying to recall was Wall Street with Kirk Douglas and Charlie Sheen. “Greed is Good”. Here’s some clips: https://youtu.be/-TLCaDbBv_s
