Ten years after the fall

Article Abstract:

Some fundamentals, such as fear and greed, are the same in 1997 as they were in 1987.

Investment advisors recalling the 10th anniversary of the Wall Street crash of Oct. 1987 suggest if it happens again, investors should think about buying stock at bargain prices.
