<What caused the crash? By August 1987 the bull market that had existed since 1982 was the longest in 50 years. The total value of stocks in all markets had increased from $2,472 billion in 1980 to $5,995 billion in 1986.>

$5,995 billion total ? Can it be right?

Tight money and the yield differential between stocks and bonds catalyzed the crash. Program trading caused it.
