The Crash (Anniversary)

Postby The Bart » Fri Oct 19, 2012 5:56 am

Today's date is the 25th anniversary of Black Monday. A well known and severe crash. There were four other well known severe crashes that occurred in the 20th and 21st centuries, that did not occur as a result of a sudden external event. (I.E. WWI WWI, The crash of 2001 was in response to 9-11, the flash crash of 2010 was the result of a computer glitch).

The years for the five best known and most severe crashes, of the 20th and 21st century, that were not the result of a sudden external event were:

1929
1930-32
1973-74
1987 (Black Monday) October 19
2008 (September)

Very interesting "commonality" indeed.

Don't forget the dot.com crash - uh... I mean the dot.com bubble collapse. NASDAQ almost disappeared. Late 2000.
America must have the highest "goofs per capita" rating of any nation outside Antarctica.

the economy was crashing before 9-11-2001, about a year before the internet bubble was coming unglued
and that more than anything else caused the housing prices to crumble.
