Could You Survive the Next ASX Share Market Crash? Lessons from 1987 and Protecting Your Investments

This week - in 1987 - the ASX fell 25 per cent IN A DAY. Just now the local share market is going gangbusters: In fact, it is testing its all- time valuation peak. But here's the thing: The market will crash again - we just don't know when this will happen or what might trigger the downturn. What was it like to sit through a 25 per cent drop in a matter of hours and what can we learn from it as investors?

Alex Moffatt of Joseph Palmer and Sons joins wealth editor James Kirby in this episode.
