9. Crashes and Effects on the Market
In Oct 24, 1929 was known as a “Black Thursday”
stock prices fell sharply by a volume of about 13
million shares. Five days later, October 29th, 1929, the
market crashed by a volume of over 16 million shares. At
the time this was the highest volume drop that was not
to be matched for 39 years. This crash marked the
beginning of the Great Depression.

10. Continue :-
Reason behind the crash:-
 Stocks were overpriced.
 Federal Reserve policies were causing disagreement and
problems.
 Many people had an overconfidence from the 20's which
influenced a search for easy money and made many people
greedy.
 Many people took their chances in the market by "buying on a
margin". This means that they bought stocks on borrowed
money, money they did not have. They would be making money
as long as their stock price increased, but if the prices fell then
they would be deep in debt.

11. Continue:-
In Oct 19, 1987 was known as “Black Monday” because
the NYSE dropped 508 points, the largest one-day fall in
history. From October 14 to October 19th of 1987 the
major parts of the market dropped around 30% or more.

12. Continue:-
Some explanations for the causes of the crash:
 Computer trading securities-many analysts say this is the cause.
Computers in large investing companies were programmed to
order large numbers of stocks when certain market trends
prevailed.
 Liquidity- trading mechanisms in the stock market were unable
to deal with such a large flow of sell orders.
 Trade and Budget deficits-trade and budget debts during the
third quarter of 1987 might have led investors into thinking that
these debts would cause the crash.

 NYSE Group bid €8 billion in cash and shares for Euronext
