As it happens several years ago I went back and read through the UK's primary weekly investment magazine of the time (Investors Chronicle) to see what its coverage was like preceding the 1987 crash.
I didn't find what I expected: the principal writers were bearish for a lot of the summer with strong reservations about the run-up in prices, falling bonds, currencies and inflation. They basically thought it was going to crash but could not say when - the key tell seemed to be the quietness that was associated with the August top and subsequent decline.
