There was never a "crash" in the U.S. in the 1980s.
There was a correction in 1987, which was a 500 point drop, but the percentage was about 22% (?)
The term "crash" is a misnomer.
In 1929 there was a crash. And people jumpted out of windows because of Margin debt. Unemployment hit 25%

Even the contrarians aren't saying this. Some do say there will be a decline, or dip. Note* not necessarily just a correction.
