Written for the general reader who has little financial
background, this book analyzes the extended bull market of the
1980s and the subsequent stock market crash on October 19, 1987. To
tell their story, the authors use a sample portfolio of stocks,
bonds, options, savings, and warrants, tracing actual investments
bought and sold from the early 1980s through the October 1987
crash. By following their hypothetical portfolio through the ups
and downs of the 1980s market, the reader gains a practical
understanding of the workings of the stock market and the pressures
that led to its calamitous plunge in October 1987. Anyone seeking a
practical and nontechnical yet thorough explanation of the events
of October 19th will find "The Crash Put Simply" fascinating
reading.
As their story unfolds, the authors explain each type of
investment in detail, paying special attention to their advantages
and risks. They trace the impact of specific events on the market,
using the sample portfolio to illustrate typical investor
expectations and reactions during the long bull market. This unique
approach enables the reader to understand how events moved the
market and how, in the week prior to October 19th, a panic of
action and reaction finally brought the market crashing down.
