Stocks & Indices Rumor First seen 2026-10-19 05:55 UTC

Post compares 1987 one-day crash recovery with Nasdaq's 15-year 2000 drawdown

A Reddit r/stocks post marks the anniversary of the 1987 crash, stating the Dow fell 22.6% in one session and that the Fed says stocks recovered most of it within two sessions. It contrasts this with the Nasdaq in 2000, which it says fell 78.4% over 31 months and did not close above its March 2000 high until April 2015. The author says they hold a broad index and some cash and worry more about a slow decline, citing AI spending.
