Stock Market Crash of 1987 (full documentary)

[@FaithAndrada-xo9ou]

Biggest lesson i learnt in 2024 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.

[@BrewerVera]

Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.

Uncertainty... it took me 5 years to stop trying to predict what bout to happen in market based on charts studying, cause you never know. not having a mentor cost me 5 years of pain I learn to go we’re the market is wanting to go and keep it simple with discipline.

Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?

My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless.

[@saraFinn-u6g]

The key to achieving substantial returns isn’t chasing big-moving stocks; it’s about managing risk relative to reward. Position sizing is crucial, and consistently applying your edge as often as needed to reach your goals. This principle applies to everything from long-term investing to day trading.

[@richardhudson1243]

Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

[@avamadison-r9p]

That's impressive ! I could really use the expertise of these advisors.

[@richardhudson1243]

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Melissa Terri Swayne for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

My portfolio for the past 30 years has always been self managed and I own 3 shares of Berkshire Hathaway Class A stock (BRK:A) which I bought in at about $17,000 during the mid 90s, I'm currently liquidating some of these positions to incoporate new Gen. Stocks, but am I better off re-investing into Gold as it seems stocks are a little too unstable right now.

[@JamesLongman-v5r]

Invest in real estate, gold , ETfs and high-yield savings account.

[@StacieBMui]

The market is not necessarily a rollercoaster if you know your way around the market, there are various opportunities in the present market to accrue good profit, If you are not too savvy with the market, just buy and hold on strong companies with good earnings, or consult with advisors on Etfs and actively managed funds. I am up by 418% in 1 year under guidance.

Awesome.. Please I would love to know or get in touch with your investment advisor. I could really use such expertise in growing my portfolio now that the entire markets is uncertain

[@LuvmeRos]

I think investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.

Facing a similar situation, I sought advice from an CFP. Through portfolio restructuring and diversification with good ETFs, S&P 500 and growth stocks, I've turned my portfolio around from $200k to over $800k in a few years.

[@Mohaimam316]

I can’t focus on the long run when I should be retiring in 3years, you see I’ve got good companies in my portfolio and a good amount invested, but my profit has been stalling, does it mean this recession/unstable market doesn’t provide any calculated risk opportunities to make profit?

There are a lot of strategies to make tongue wetting profit especially in a down market, but such sophisticated trades can only be carried out by proper market experts

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my inherited portfolio of about $2.5m. I’m used to just buying and holding assets which doesn’t seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I’m really worried about survival after retirement.

[@Arnold-ic9jg]

True, I mostly just buy and hold stocks, but my portfolio has been mostly in the red for quite awhile now. Unfortunately to be able to make good gains, you’ll need to be consistent and restructure your portfolio frequently.

The 2008-09 crash saw markets fall, wiping out trillions of dollars around the world, but savvy investors recognized a once-in-a-lifetime buying power, with companies' stocks on the market at deep discounts. With markets recovering from the Great Recession, these investors realized tremendous gains from their assertive maneuvers. I'm no savvy-investor, but the one method I've relied on to gain rapidly during times like this is having an asset-coach guide me. It may sound cliche, but I've been able to pull off over $750k this year alone using just this single method.

The company basically juggled its books for 2 years and declared bankruptcy in 1989.

Let me tell you my story, all true. Years ago way out in the bush i encountered an alien space ship and was captured. One of them spoke English and told me they were going to destroy life on earth by deploying gamma ray satellites. I summoned up the most heartfelt reasons why they should not and, even though humanity will probably end up destroying itself, we deserve a chance to survive to beat the odds. They listen intensely at my argument and with a short reply said, OK. They let me go and flew off back into outer space. That day I saved the world.

The 1987 crash was not really a crash but only a minor correction. I recall being in college at the time and hearing the news and my economics teacher made fun of the crash and stated it was a glitch and the market would be back at it's current level in a few weeks. Turned out he was right. When we later asked him how he knew this he simply stated ignore what the market is doing and ask yourself is the economy fundamentally sound and if the pe ratios make sense or not and what the debt levels are of the nation in question.

[@harryparker9452]

The narrative was wrong, the crash was due to computerized selling triggers. Once one system issued a sell, they would all start selling. The computer program was designed around very basic scenarios which did not reflect real life. Therefore it failed. As you can see afterwords the market indexes returned to their normal levels once the computer systems were turned off and manual processes resumed. Even in the 80s the software and hardware were very primitive. Imagine running a 1980s 10-12 megahertz CPU vs 4 gigahertz CPU today.

[@valentinius62]

Sean Hannity the other day mentioned (yet again) how Reagan ushered in unprecedented prosperity. LOL. I was in the Army under Reagan. We were allowed one magazine for our M-16s for training. In Field Artillery School they cut out the portion of training involving observing artillery fire from the air to save money. They did away with a program where a couple of reserve officers per class would be offered active duty. I voted for Reagan, and I don't regret it. I'm just sick of all the fawning BS from the right. He wasn't some kind of god. He talked a good game, though. ALL of these pols are bullshitters. Sometimes they get lucky with the economy, sometimes they don't.

[@Ten2More]

The 1929 crash was not due to the Fed. There were no laws requiring publicly traded companies to disclose anything so that investors were flying blind. It was pure and total gambling. That's why the Securities and Exchange Acts of 33 and 34 were made law. However, we seem to now be in a time that people are just speculating because they can't be bothered with reading about the companies they are buying stocks in.
