Evaluation: I found this book on the Auraria Library website. I was happy when i found it because it fit exactly what i was looking for, the causes. It is a newer book, or atleast is no older than about 10 years old so i liked that it was fairly recent. Im excited to get this book and see what his opinions are on the causes of the crash and see if they differ from my own.

2) Title: Rainbow’s End: The Crash of 1929

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (October 25, 2001)
http://www.amazon.com/Rainbows-End-Pivotal-Moments-American/dp/0195135164

Evaluation: I found this book, just by looking up Maury Klein, the guy who also wrote one of the periodical articles i found. I was just looking at what other things that he has been known for and I happened to stumble on this. The Book was called Rainbows End and its also about the Stock Market Crash. Since the article I found, seems to be very informative, Im sure that this book will also help a lot in my research.

Periodical:

Evaluation: I really found this periodical article very interesting. I looked to see where the author, Maury Klein got his information from and I was plesently suprised that the info was from Harvard. It is sometimes very difficult to find information, and not know if it is correct or not. So I was happy to find this article.

Evaluation: I found this periodical article, actually on the SkyLine website for the Auraria Library. She gives a lot of information on the causes of the crash. She seems to really know about the crash. She also talks about the effects but i will be only pretty much reading about the causes. Again, it is just nice to read other peoples opinions on the crash because this is greatly debated and everyone sees the causes differently.

Websites:

1)http://www.amatecon.com/gd/gdcandc.html

Evaluation: This is one of my favorite websites that I found for the Stock Market Crash. In this website, they give me about 7 causes of the crash. I liked this because other sites i would find, would really only provide me aboue 2 or 3 causes so it was nice to have more opinions.

2) http://www.money-zine.com/Investing/Stocks/Stock-Market-Crash-of-1929/

Evaluation: This site, I also saw very informative. They show what happened on each of the days of the crash, like black monday and black tuesday. Then it also goes into detail about why this crash happened.
