The Great Depression

[AZ Jim]

1929 The sign says "$100 will buy this car. Must have cash. Lost all on the stock market."

Bob Newhart, in one of his sketches, that during the depression, so many people were on the edge of tall buildings waiting to jump, that you had to take a number
(like in the butcher sop) just to get a space at the edge to jump.

 

[darroll]

People were getting rich daily playing the mkt.
After some thought someone decided the stock was way over valued, they sold and bingo.
Margin buying pulled down the banks that made those risky loans.
The government claims this can't happen again??????????
