The Black Friday Sale is here and has left many of us wondering about the history and significance of this day which marks the onset of amazing sales in several parts of the world. 
Well, Black Friday has two relevant meanings. In history, it was a stock market catastrophe that took place on September 24, 1869. On that day, after a period of rampant speculation, the price of gold plummeted, and the markets crashed. 
However, the more contemporary meaning refers to the day after the United States%u2019 Thanksgiving holiday, which has also traditionally been a holiday itself for many employees. This day is full of special shopping deals and heavy discounts and is considered to be the onset of the holiday shopping season. 
 Big discounts on electronics, toys and other gifts or at least the first opportunity for consumers to buy whatever the hottest products are, are offered by stores everywhere.
