On October 19, 1987, the day known as “Black Monday”, S & P 500
index dropped sharply by 20%. This event remains forever in the history
of Wall Street as the biggest loss suffered in exchange for one day. It
was the end of five years-long period of appreciation of the shares.
Faber notes that in just two days this week, when the S & P 500
hit historic high of 1,709 points, there were 170 issues, which were
trading at 52-week lows. This means that only a few companies moving
market.
“In 1987 we had a significant increase in stock prices.
Profits, however, did not g row at a stable rate. Markets were
overvalued. There was a sharp decline, and on August 25 was the last day
on which a large number of shares registered 52-week low. In other
words, the number of shares that rose, curled up and saw a number of
disruptions to trade with different shares, “said in an interview with
CNBC
