What Was the Stock Market Crash of 1929? 

The stock market crash of 1929 began on Oct. 24. While it is remembered for the panic selling in the first week, the largest falls occurred in the following two years as the Great Depression emerged. In fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) did not bottom out until July 8, 1932, by which time it had fallen 89% from its Sept. 1929 peak, making it the biggest bear market in Wall Street’s history. The Dow Jones did not return to its 1929 high until Nov. 1954.

HISTORIC PRECEDENT TO REMEMBER
