Bouncing back from birthday blues

Article Abstract:

The 1987 stock market crash can teach a number of lessons to investors. There are parallels with 1987 and 1997, and these include stock price rises over the year with volatility in the summer. A crash is a short-term correction, so investors buying long before a crash and holding long term are not likely to be affected. Investors buying at the peak before a crash may wait 5 years before seeing their stocks regain value. Falls in stock prices can offer opportunities for investors.
