1929 Wall Street Stock Market Crash
The most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States;
Its from my favorite documentary by PBS – New York.
This particular part about Wall Street crash of 1929 is from episode 5 of the series with title: Cosmopolis
there are lots of archive photos, footages and drawings throughout the series and in my opinion it was great work done with finding them.
series website:
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/newyork/series/index.html
“Archival shoots took place at various historical and cultural institutions, including the New-York Historical Society, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Library of Congress, and focused on the filming of particularly rare or large-scale archival prints, lithographs, maps, and photographs”

You know what .. …
You know what .. every young, eager-beaver, money-hungry, “greed-is-good”, rising corporate executive, & rising banking-magnate, should have this extensive footage shown to them, day & night, nonstop, for about 3 days or so – before they’re permitted to be appointed to any higher-corporate company promotion / position. Maybe then, they’d properly realise the inherent social responsiblility that comes inbuilt, with the handling of other peoples’ money in professional business. ‘Nuff said.

BourneAccident is somewhat right. The crash was engineered to create the fed. The Rothchilds and other bankers are our dark lords, But don’t worry, just go surfing. There’s nothing you’re gonna do about any of it. HAH hahaha.

Hmmm. . . …
Hmmm. . . interesting how the banks saved their durign that time.
It seems that they knew on thurday the 23 that the jig was up and with all the investors selling they KNEW that they could have taken a huge hit. So . . . they pumped in enough money to stabilize the stock a little on Friday and then while the stocks were somewhat stabilized they pulled out before being seriously hit.

Stocks will go up …
Stocks will go up as well as Gold and Silver. We see the Dow bottomed last year at 6,600. The U.S. Dollar has had it and that’s why stocks are rising with Gold and Silver. Hyperinflation is around the corner and the stock market is reflecting this fact along with the metals. I like Silver ($588) better than Gold ($10K) but both are great investments and will return more money than the stock market (32,000).

Hate to burst anyone’s “bubble” but the crash of 1929 was engineered by the Fed. The crashed the market, retracted the money supply by 30% and the Great Depressions ensued. BUT GREAT FOOTAGE… really enjoyed that….

Problem was that countries like Germany under Stresemann had grown prosperous, but from large loans which put them in a very bad position when the stock market crashed.

The biggest bubble …
The biggest bubble isn’t “trash stocks”, it’s stocks in general. The P/E of the S&P 500 is now at an incredibly high 140 !!! Historically, the P/E is around 15, maybe 16 in times of economic expansion. In order for the P/E of the S&P 500 to be at 15, the index itself should be around 112. That’s a long, long way down from the over 1000 that the S&P is currently at.

And just like the shoe shiner at 2:40, same thing happened to real estate in 2006.
I started selling all my properties when not only; people were jumping all over bidders back going 15% higher than asking price,;but also because I was seeing people who were poor getting half million dollar homes.
And then POOF. Real Estate was done.
