Reasons for the Stock Market Crash. Causes:Explanation: Buying on Margin Borrowing money from brokers to purchase more stock than you can afford. Money is loaned on call. Many people had an overconfidence from the 20's which influenced a search for easy money and made many people greedy. (This brought many people into a situation they did not understand.) Overpriced stocks Inflated stock prices because of the unreal preception of huge gains. Slowing economy High inflation, low buying, yet high spectulation. Rising umemployment The desire for consumer durable goods went down. Too much overproduction. Massive fraud and illegal activities There probably was little actual insider trading or illegal manipulation. Public Officials repeated statements Things are doing very well and will continue. Some said prices were too high and overvalued but that caused some people to be encouraged Unwillingness of financial analysts to recognize any theories. People in general did not want to hear anything that might suggest an end to the wealth of the stock market. Some statisticians predicted a crash but no one wanted to listen. Ignoring these theories may have resulted in the crash. Sticky Prices/Sticky Wages Prices wanting to go up but wages remaining low. People buy less and employers hire less, thus causing cut backs in production and employment. Hoarding money Putting it away for the rainy day took money out of circulation and the Fed did little to solved the problem Gold Standard Fluctuating Gold prices kept changing the value of money. As the situation worsened countries dropped their gold standards. Smoot-Hawley tariff act. Created an international tariff war which hurt everyone. Federal Reserve Board No real strong leadership. No one knew really what to do. Acted to late. Didn’t reduce money supply or increase it. Didn’t reduce or increase interest rate. Federal Reserve policies were causing disagreement and problems

The Great Stock Market Crash The Beginning of the End- Black Thursday, October 24, Black Thursday was the first sign of the end of a great bull market. What goes up, must come down. And come down it did. However, Black Thursday was not the nail in the coffin (that comes on Black Monday and Tuesday). In fact, Black Thursday involved a great comeback. Let’s get straight to the story… 12.9 million shares changed hands on Black Thursday (a new record – 4 million shares was considered a busy day back then). Most of the panic took place in the morning hours. The ticker tape machine fell behind by an hour and a half leaving investors madly scrambling to sell their investments without even knowing the current prices. Panic set in. People gathered outside the exchanges and brokerages, police were dispatched to insure peace. Rumors were flying. By 12:30 PM, the Chicago and Buffalo Exchanges closed down, eleven well-known speculators had already killed themselves and the NYSE closed the visitor’s gallery on the wild scenes below.

The Great Stock Market Crash The Beginning of the End- Black Thursday, October 24, The market moved up a bit after Lamont’s statement, but the real recovery came at 1:30 PM, when self-confident Richard Whitney, vice-president of the NYSE and floor broker of J.P. Morgan and Company, walked into the exchange floor. The crowd went silent. Everyone expected an announcement that the NYSE would be closed. Instead, Richard Whitney surprised everybody… Whitney asked for the latest bid on U.S. Steel. “195” someone shouted. Then he promptly announced that he was buying 10,000 shares of U.S. Steel at 205. He immediately received 200 shares and then left the rest of the order with the specialist. He continued to make similar orders for over a dozen more stocks. Fear evaporated as investors became worried that they would miss the new boom. The market would have closed much higher if stop loss orders from earlier that day hadn’t been triggered during the upward surge. Needless to say, the recovery on Black Thursday was impressive, but so was the massive sell off earlier in the morning that gave it its name. Friday and Saturday morning sessions held steady as everyone became optimistic with the market’s ability to recover. These feelings were squashed on Black Monday.

Black Monday (October 28th, 1929) Following Black Thursday 1929, the stock market was much calmer - it was up a bit on Friday and down a little on Saturday. People were optimistic, knowing that the market could bounce back from Thursday and that the bankers had stepped in. This false sense of hope would end on Monday. Black Monday was a terrible day in the market. Unlike the Black Thursday, no "hero" stepped in to regain investor’s confidence. Volume levels were very high (around 9.25 million shares) as speculators began to realize that no one could save the market. Speculators could only hope that the damage wouldn’t be too bad. Black Monday was the 2nd worst day in U.S. stock market history. The worst day in history wouldn’t come for 58 more years (October 19th, 1987), which also happens to be a Monday and is also referred to as "Black Monday." Black Monday is usually considered a precursor to the worst day in stock market history – the nail in the coffin, Black Tuesday.

Worst Day in Stock Market History - Black Tuesday - October 29th, 1929 Black Tuesday is notorious for being the worst day in the U.S. stock market, but in terms of percentage loss, the honor goes to Black Monday (1987 and 1929). Combine the worst features of Black Thursday with the worst features of Black Monday and you get Black Tuesday. On Thursday, Oct. 24, a record 12.9 million shares traded and the ticker tape fell behind one and a half hours. On Black Tuesday, a new record of 16.4 million shares were traded and the ticker tape fell behind by two and a half hours! On Monday, the stock market suffered a record one- day loss of around 13 percent. On Black Tuesday, the market suffered a loss of about 12 percent. Like the previous "Black Days," the top bankers held a meeting during the day about the market. By the end of November, investors had lost $100 billion in assets in what was later called "The Great Stock Market Crash." In just two months, September and October, the stock market had lost 40 percent of its value. Black Tuesday usually marks the point where the Roaring 20’s ended and the Great Depression started. The stock market would continue to fall until bottoming out in July of 1932 with the Dow at 41.22, down 89.2% (from to The stock market wouldn’t recover for another 22 years
