FYI: Nearly 10 years ago, on Oct. 9, 2007, the stock market hit a historic peak. Times were good, and few could have guessed that an epic plunge was on the horizon.
It was unthinkable that Lehman Brothers or GM could go under, or that real estate could nose-dive on a national level.
Hindsight being 20/20, there are some lessons gained that might not have been so apparent in the few years that followed the crash.
