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

This week marks the anniversary of the 1987 ASX crash, where the Australian share market plummeted by 25% in a single day. While the market is currently testing all-time highs, another crash is inevitable—we just don’t know when or what will trigger it. 

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.

Why markets overheat and how to protect yourself
