Strongly enthusiastic characterizes the perspective most investors had of the stock market in the first half of 1929.

On Tuesday October 29th, 1929, a stock market crash cost the market about 12 percent of its value. Although the loss was staggering, it was only a portion of the loss that was to occur in the following 3 years. In 1932 the DJIA reached a low of just 11% of its high in 1929, or a loss of roughly 89%. It reached a high of 381.17 in early September of 1929 and a low of 41.22 in July of 1932. Although we can recognize some of the conditions that helped to fuel the stock market crash of 1929, what set it off is harder to determine.
