STOCK MARKET CRASH BEGAN ON THIS DAY

Black Tuesday : The Stock Market Crash of 1929 used book by Barbara  Silberdick Feinberg: 9781562945749

Black Tuesday hit Wall Street on October 29, 1929 as investors
traded 16,410,030 shares on the New York Stock Exchange in
a single day.

Billions of dollars were lost, wiping out thousands of investors,
and stock tickers ran hours behind because the machinery
could not handle the tremendous volume of trading.

In the aftermath of Black Tuesday, America and the rest of the industrialized world spiraled downward into the Great
Depression
.
