 | | Assume that a utility purchases an asset that costs $1,000,000 and that asset is financed with 40% stock ($400,000). | | | The market price as a percentage of year-end book value was 420% using the high prices and 181% using the low prices. | | | In September 1929, the market value of one segment of the market, the public utility sector, should be based on existing fundamentals, and fundamentals seem to have changed considerably in October 1929. |

| | The Crash of 1929 |
| | What made the market popular was the fact that you could go to a broker and purchase stock on margin. | | | What this means is that instead of buying your stocks with the money you have, you could purchase them with cash down and the rest on credit. | | | We are paying interest on a loan for a stock which itself is being used as collateral. |

| | Stock Market Crash of 1987 |
| | Portfolio insurance, a form of investment, is the guarding of other stock investments against losses (Arbel and Kaff, pg 115) This is regarded as a highly risky way of investing in the stock market because these portfolio insurance professionals rely on their intuition instead of the reliable information. | | | These risky investors sell their stocks at a high price when they think the market is declining and their stocks are losing value. | | | Because of this distrust, investors would be reluctant to put their money in the market and might instead invest it in the bank where interest rates would climb and the market would decline. |

| | Many investors became convinced that stocks were a sure thing and borrowed heavily to invest more money in the market. | | | Another crucial mechanism insulated commercial banks from stock market panics by banning banks from investing depositors' money in stocks. | | | From 1920 to 1929 stocks more than quadrupled in value. |

| | Monthly Review: The stock market crash and its aftermath |
| | Without dwelling on the details of these innovations (such as futures linked to indexes of stock prices), the important thing to understand is that gambling in these instruments requires cash advances of as little as 5 to 10 percent of the price of the contract, the rest being borrowed from banks or security firms. | | | Meanwhile, not only were the major market operators unable to repay their debts, they needed still more loans to stay afloat, let alone to try to stem the downward spiral. | | | Traders in futures and other instruments based on borrowing to the hilt are then trapped: as the value of the collateral underlying their debt evaporates, they are compelled to dump their contracts or face losing all the cash they advanced as well as what they borrowed. |

| | Stock market crash (October 1929): historical context, economic impact and related links |
| | It was estimated that Canadian stocks lost a total value of $5 billion on paper in 1929. | | | Speculation was rampant: bidding drove up the value of stocks as much as 40 times the companies’ annual earnings. | | | Banks gave out easy and cheap credit, and let people buy stocks on margin: buyers paid only a fraction of the share price and borrowed the rest. |

| | The US dollar had been declining prior to the 1987 crash, and worries about record budget and trade deficits abounded. | | | In 2003, the US dollar has again found itself in a strong downtrend, the budget deficit is ballooning as Bush wages war, and the trade deficit is hitting record highs. | | | The argument has it that high interest rates will coax equity investors away from dividend bearing stocks to bonds, resulting in an equity selloff. |

| | Confident that a given stock's value would rise, an investor put a down payment on the stock, expecting in a few months to pay the balance of the initial cost plus receive a hefty profit. | | | Many investors in the stock market practiced "buying on margin," that is, buying stock on credit. | | | This turned the stock market into a speculative pyramid game, in which most of the money invested in the market wasn't actually there. |

| | Stock Market Crash |
| | Rapid buying and selling inflated the prices of many stocks to the point that many were selling for more than they were actually worth. | | | The brokers demanded cash to cover their loans and when the investors couldn't come up with the extra money, they had to sell their stocks leaving them at a loss of money. | | | They sometimes bought those stocks with borrowed money, such as loans, because they had so much confidence in the market. |

| | The idea was to buy a large quantity of stock which you expected to have a large increase in value - enough to cover the amount borrowed from the broker, plus profit. | | | All this speculation led to a rapid increase in the prices of stocks (they rose about 250% in the previous five years before 1929) and many analysts began to warn of an impeding "correction." (A correction means the market readjusts its prices to what they really should be). | | | It was the practice of buying a large number of shares of stock with a very small amount of your own money - as little as 3% -- and borrowing the rest from a broker. |

And while a 20 to 30% correction may ruined an investor on margin, as long as one is not on margin, he or she will be fine. | | | Unfortunately, the mainstream media and the investing public severely overhyped these technological innovations and took the stock prices of these companies to their historical extremes. | | | By acting in a herd mentality and by taking out second mortgages and home equity financing, borrowing on credit card and pawning their jewelry to buy overinflated growth stocks (and even on margin), people are sealing their own fates. |

| | As a matter of fact, the brokers who represented the pool were having their hands full plugging up the "air-holes" in the list--in other words, buying stocks which were offered for sale without any bids at all in sight. | | | It was no laughing matter to assume the responsibility of millions of dollars' worth of loans secured by collateral which by the end of the day might prove to have dropped to a fraction of its former value. | | | Whitney then went to various other points on the floor, and offered the price of the last previous sale for 10,000 shares of each of fifteen or twenty other stocks, reporting what was sold to him at that price and leaving the remainder of the order with the specialist. |

| | By early 1928, warning signals began to sound in the economy, but the so-called "greater fool theory" held fast — the recognition by an investor that he may have been foolish to have paid too much for a stock, but he would find a "greater fool" who would be willing to pay even more. | | | The tremendous increase in stock market prices during the 1920s was largely based upon value. | | | This was especially true of such issues as communications and the automobile industry where companies were profitable and worker productivity steadily increased. |
