The 1987 Crash
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2024
- The first global financial crisis erupted in the autumn of 1987 on a day known as “Black Monday.” A chain reaction of market distress sent stock exchanges around the world plummeting in a matter of hours. In the United States, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 22.6 percent in a single trading session, a loss that remains the largest one-day stock market decline in history. At the time, it marked the sharpest market downturn in the United States since the Great Depression.
In today's video we look at the causes of the 1987 crash, discuss program trading and portfolio insurance and how the crash forever changes stock markets around the world.

Hello Patrick, seeing you posting this Video about a Market Crash, do you see it crashing again in the short term? Regards!
Is it all about confidence and liquidity ?

I was in high school on this day and my electronics teacher said he had money saved up to put in the market when it dropped. He was excited on the day of the crash and ended up putting it in the next day. This made a big impact on me.
I worked in a warehouse and one guy said he lost a lot of money that day, but made it all back within a year
I was in college at this time and a classmate told me that his father told him it was a good idea to walk as close to tall buildings foundations as possible the next few days.
Timing the market is a bad idea anyway.
What a OG
@@federicoytbe Unless you time it well like this guy's teacher.
I was 12 at the time. I remember one of my friends dad’s panicked on Monday and sold off everything, losing a ton of money, money which he would have gotten most back by Friday. Taught me a valuable lesson about patience and investing on dips.

Another exceptional look at market history by Mr. Boyle. I’ll never forget that day in 1987. I leaned about greed, fear, and irrationality, and those lessons have guided me ever since.
Thanks Tom!
I love this old 80's footage from the trading floor. Trading back then looks super intense!!!
Here's another part for your atmosphere. Back in the S&P pit many guys wore steel-toe shoes to avoid getting smashed. Some guys wore racquetball glasses coz those cards with the sharp corners were incoming (whizzed in) to floor brokers. To make it there it helped to be tall and stout.

I always heard the cause of this crash was just “computer systems that weren’t yet ready for prime time” but now I see it was a whole confluence of events. Thanks for putting this in a historical perspective. And a global perspective. I had no idea HK and NZ were hit even harder than we were here in the US.

My friend who worked on the floor of the NYSE lasted 3 years before he bought an organic farm selling lettuce and Cornish game hens.
It probably saved his sanity.... wise man.
@@NickanM I work with a lot of Cabbages now so I feel like I'm on a farm not an office.
Sounds familiar lol
I find myself in a different industry but with similar goals in mind lol
@@Envoy_Intuition Your coworkers - Did you hear? Collin bought the farm, so sad.
I wasn't even aware of the crash at the time. I was 22 and working as a test technician at an electronics firm. They laid off some engineers and other people I had no access or motive to connect with. I got to keep my job. Working as a "soldier"in the tech field, and not as a "manager" has been beneficial to me in the long run. Companies need soldiers more than they need "generals", and this is how I was not fired from any job - only laid off once in 1991 - in the past 40 years.
I was there as a very young professional. It started happening, as I remember, about ten minutes after market open. I actually got my IRA account out of the stock market completely before it started. My regular account rode it down. I have a picture of the crash on a Compaq 386 portable computer III.
Thats amazing, and you kept the pc, wow
@@Sinekyre14 I kept the picture, not the pc, but thanks anyway. It's a picture of the deep vertical line on a stock graph from an early live stock market subscription service as it's being displayed on this computer.

I got stopped out of all my stocks on Black Monday 1987. What bothers me to this day is my stop limit orders weren't executed until each stock had reached its bottom. I got stopped out of Applied Materials. Which then went up 500 times. (Edit: Had I repurchased it, )All I had to do was wait 40 years.
Well, a stop order simply ELECTS another type of order. Elects means that it activates the second type of order that is in reality attached to the stop, that's just the inner working mechanics of stop orders. Reads like your stop elected itself into a limit order instead of the default market order. So, if the market had by this time (first electing the stop to activate the limit order), moved below your limit price. Your order would have gone unfilled.
For example, if your limit was the number five as the lowest you'd sell for. But, the market zoomed below five into four then three, etc. Your limit order would not fill.
Next time you use a stop for protection. Maybe just use a plain stop order and that will become a market order.
Stop limits don’t work that way. Someone has to be willing to buy. Under Norma market conditions it will trade close to the limit you set. A freefall will pass it altogether. Surprised it even triggered a sell at the bottom. A stop loss putting out a market order on a nosedive probably would have sold much lower than the trigger price as well.
LOL... "a turd of the value"... gotta just luuurv all this ponzi casino waffle BS... oops. sorry... "market" economics but, at the end of the day

Don't fret, the debt ceiling always goes up. I wonder if 2008 crisis survivors had it easier. this could lead to economic downturns. We need to be prepared for potential market volatility. how can I secure my 250k portfolio against declining?
Everyone needs a Margin of Safety in their portfolios and just remember, It's time in the market versus timing the market.
De-risk your portfolios, shore up your core holdings, and take some profits while balancing your portfolio allocations. I’d also suggest you go with a managed portfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a proper fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my spouse and I. We've made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.
I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations as everyone's situation varies. Consider independent financial advisors like "JENNIFER LEIGH HICKMAN" I've worked with her for 9 years and highly recommend her. Check if she meets your criteria.
Don't panic sell.

Thanks!
Welcome!
That was one of the most beautiful days of my life. I will never forget it. I was 9 years old.
In the Crash of 1987, the Nikkei was at 22,000. It's now at 28,000.
And the Nikkei just had an even bigger 2 day drop than the crash of 1987
I lived that. Things like that change your thinking permanently. Great video. You are one of my favorite youtubers.
I would love to see a 1929 version of this! Love your style!
He's not gonna talk about that one because if I remember correctly, it took 25 years for the Dow to go back to previous highs and finally break even in that occasion.
That would ruin his narrative that everything goes up indefinitely and every crash happens mostly because of fear and not because of fundamental reasons.
The crash in 1929 is the clear example that "stonk only go up" but sometimes you're not gonna live long enough to see that happen.
There were glass domes with ticker-tape machines inside that sounded like clicking sewing machines, or more truly like those old Morse code station keys, except steadier. Making the planked floors to be covered with streams of ticker-tape / confetti. The rooms had high ceilings and lazy fans which allowed stratas of cigar smoke to linger at all times. And, a fella could always get a drink once tipped to who's in the know for some. Usually any cigarette girl could tell you if she'd seen you around for awhile.
J K Galbraith’s The Great Crash of 1929” is good for that.
@@marcusdavey9747 Thanks! I will have to check it out!
There are plenty of videos on 1929.
I just gotta say your sense of style is immaculate👌🏾 thanks for the knowledge Patrick 👍🏾
I thought this was exasperated by the big 1987 storm in the UK which caused the insurance industry to go into panic due to the amount of claims coming in (at the end it was £2bn). The storm was 15-16 October 1987 with the first trading day, Black Monday
Do you mean exacerbated?
@@manishm9478 Autocorrect!
Yes, trading closed early in London on that Friday I believe. Due to transport disruption caused by the storm, few traders were able to get into work on Friday morning.
I was in high school and worked at Walmart back in 87. I remember the Walmart stock price board they had up by bathroom went from like 97 dollars to 20. I was new to stock prices but it left impression. Lol
i remember that day, i was in high school and every grown up i knew was in panic. Also, i didn't know RDJ worked in the markets back in the day, look at 5:36 mark.
It was indeed RDJ. Check "NYMEX Floor Trading" in UA-cam
Yeah I seen that, definitely looked like him.
Best analysis of crash i have seen so far
Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book "The Black Swan" is worth reading about this event and others like it. This level of price movement in one day was estimated at the time by financial engineers using bell curve models to be a "five sigma event"; or an event that was supposed to happen only once in every 30,000 years. However, in recent times, scholars have analyzed the history and found that these "once in 30,000 years" events have occurred 48 times in the history of the NYSE.
In the past twenty years of the stock market, just ten days of abnormal skyrocketing stock market prices account for half the gains up until now.
if you account movement after close, oof

Outstanding account of the crash. Thanks.
I sold stocks on the Thursday(?) before Black Monday, iirc around $4000. It was a start up that was wiped out completely and didn't recover. No genius, but I'd had a run on it and thought I'd take the profit.
This is the best, most understandable examination of this economic event. Best channel on UA-cam, hands down.
Wow thanks for sharing I learned a lot
6:41 who doesn't know the perfect strategy, buy high and sell Low.
Great depth on the subject
The company I was working was cutting over a new telephone system on Black Monday. The cut was a disaster. System would power reset every 5 minutes or so. One of our techs said the market was down 500 points. That was on crazy day.
This was a great, in depth and detailed exposition of this crash. Thank you so much for your effort!
Actually this is a good thing. Buy as much as you can. Think of it as a fire sale😅

Although it's a little weird to say I enjoyed the video I do appreciate the information and the way it's presented a lot so I guess I did enjoy it it just seems weird to say I enjoyed a video about such a topic but I have been very happy with the videos of yours that I've seen. Thanks
Why isn't "scam or fake account" and option when "Reporting"? It's clearly a very common issue. I have a Bot reply to almost every one of my UA-cam comments withing hours of it. Either posing as the content creator like in this case here(if it is even visible to others) or I have been getting the same exact seemingly nonsensical reply in 3 languages with links but by many different user account names.
Thank you Mr. Boyle for exceptional content, as always. Too bad you weren't making internet videos 20 years ago.
You gave me a chuckle and made me reminisce, thank you.
Back then in the computer space we all assumed a greater level of connectivity would be here by now. The whole purpose in doing what we were doing was to get at and provide information. We used to discuss what information we would like and how it could he shared. If you were in this space you might indeed have been thinking how to share this information in the future differently than 'today'. . I'm not conveying the grandness.... Many of the things we discussed have yet to happen.
Very very interesting!!
Thank you
This had a feel similar to your Ponzi video. Love that video and this one!!
Thank you for highlighting that the main factor in pricing the product on the market are metadata from that market, not the underlying product.
Thanks! This crash isnt understood widely enough!
This is a great example that the market is subject to the whims of the economy, not the other way around.

That said, you're still awesome and I love and appreciate you and what I learn from your vids.
The higher the climb, the harder the fall. This market has been artificially stimulated for far too long. I thought the market would've crashed in 2019, but the influx of government money has continued, and will need to continue at an exponential rate in order to stave off the next crash. Our politicians are doing us any favors and they are just lengthening the effect of a recovery.

Great update as always, but it left out the critical bit of how with most exchanges delayed openings on the 20th, the NY Fedsters were able to rig the Chicago MMI (Major Market Index) higher, it being the only market open before most of the others resumed trading. By pushing the MMI higher the Fedster's trapped most traders behind a rigged stock market rally with forced short covering to boot. It was some of the most interesting days of my then NYC commodities trading weeks. A wonderful time. Sadly, the markets have stayed mostly rigged ever since. Is the Great Nixonian Error of fiat money Great or what?
Awesome show. I only got the 2nd half but was informative.
Great job Paddy 👍
I was on my own, 21 and living on an island of wealthy people and us working class islanders, some felt it more but what I learned was the insular nature of deep wealth and set me to trying to learn how to position against such threats. Among sudden real estate signs around the towns were those still ordering the various services offered to property owners, made sure I worked for whomever was involved w them a lot that year.
Nice book on your table, 'Guns, Germs and Steel' by Jared Diamond. There's also 'Collapse'.
I woke up that morning to a significant earthquake. Later I suffered a flat tire in a bad part of Los Angeles and the lug nuts were frozen. Due to the earthquake the phone lines were down. That night the oil refinery near my home in Torrance exploded. I got married a few weeks later. Good times.
I had to laugh when that article cover was shown, about the impending doom from unprecedented borrowing. They had it right, but it really didn't hit the fan until 2007-2008. Now, let's see what the financial wizards will try to "securitize" to squeeze even more blood from the turnip.
Great! Thanks Patrick
I remember the autumn of 87, here where I live the economy was booming and everyone got jobs anywhere, people was speculate on the stock market and buying real estate like crazy, everyone was doing it, (except me) I had began to school, and one day I was told one of my colleagues had committed suicide, I was shocked and did not understand, later in the autumn people started loosing money on their investment in real estate, my ex-brother in law had invested the families savings in real estate and lost ~50% and got divorced a little later, and next year, in the winter our teachers told us some earlier students had difficulties in getting jobs, and we did not belive our ears, even average students had usually had job offers in the envelope with their papers from school when they finished, when I finished in 89 there was not one single job anywhere, actually I was the only one getting a proper job, I think almost the whole country learned a harsh lesson from that crash
Thx for upload

Another little noted effect of the 87’ crash, Lou Pinella was sitting in the office of his restaurant “Sweet Lou’s pub” watching his investments evaporate. At that moment his phone rang, under undo financial duress, he accepted what he long considered the worst job in baseball, General Manager of the New York Yankees under George Steinbrenner.
I was going to college in Brooklyn, my roommate and his brother, who were from upstate NY, said we should go camping. We drove up to their home, picked up some of their friends, drove past Lake George, and spent the weekend in the woods. On the return trip, the car broke down, and my roommate's brother and I took the train back to the city. We got back late, I spent the night on his apartment floor, and when I woke up the next morning, I turned on my Walkman (The 80's!) to hear what I had missed. The first thing I heard was that the stock market was crashing. All the guys living in that apartment worked on Wall Street, and I got out of there before they woke up. My roommate's brother ended up working as a ski instructor.
Is that Robert Downey JR at 5:35?
Great video Patrick!
People must never fear market crashes because short sellers are profiting/winning during these times. So winning in the markets is knowing whether to go long or short in an asset and entering and exiting the trade correctly. That's it. 😎😎😎
Australia ended up in a recession not long after that. I worked as a housing interest rates officer in 1990, we were in recession. housing interest rates were 17.7% at the time.
Is that RDJ at 5:36?
Thanks for the info hitman! Blending in well
excellent as always.
Have to wonder if this had any delayed aftershock effect on the Finland's economic crisis of 1990. Finnish banks were handing out risky loans and doing risky speculations in 1987. Soviet Union collapsing in '91 made it even worse since trading with Soviets accounted to 18% of the GDP at the time.
Children of that generation are called the "lost generation", they spent their childhood in poverty during Finland economic crisis in early 90's, and then 2008 crisis hit right when they were at ripe age of becoming the new generation workforce. The result of being hit by financial depression twice in key moments of their adolescence shows in more grim statistics, where people born in mid 80's to mid 90's have triple the amount of child abuse-, mental illness-, poverty- and alcohol-related problems, compared to people born before and kids born in 2000's.
From the south of the border perspective, looking at Finnish poverty of the 90s is quite amusing. Poverty in the Baltics of the 1990s doesn't compare, Estonia was near total collapse at around 1994, a Sri Lanka style collapse.
Great video!!!!!! Thank you
Thanks Patrick. I remember watching this on the news, I think I was about 18yo. I wasn't trading then but I new it was a big event. The real mess was the recession that followed a few years later. The time leading up to this was a big boom in the economy. All you heard about was how Japan was going to take over the world and how great Japan is. It was the time when the term yuppie was coined. There was a lot of young people making lots of money and everyone thought the party would keep on going. The recession in the early 90's hurt a lot of people. People think interest rates are high today, they are dirt cheap compared to back in the late 80's. It was one big mess.
Jesus it's literally history ALL OVER AGAIN!
