RJA #13a: Field Research Report–

On October 12th 2009 I interviewed Penn Pfiffner. We was able to share with me, what books would help me with my research and told me some key words that I would need, that would also help.
He said that one of the biggest causes that caused the stock market crash was the Central Bank that allowed money to grow rapidly, cheating malinvestments that was thought to be future income. Also because they didnt have the Federal Reserve Board set up, meaning that there was no secirity net that would have protected this crash.

RJA #12b: Presentation Plan–

My presentation plan, is to first start off with giving some background information on the Stock Market Crash of 1929. I just want the class to have a quick introduction of what it was, if they dont know yet. Next in my presentation I am going to point out the main causes of what I think the caused of the Crash were and then I will point out the possible objection that I am then going to refute.
Lastly I included a picture and a graph of what the stock priced looked like from the roaring 20's up until when the stocks finally recovered in 1954.

RJA #11a: Introduction-

Many people have heard the famous saying that all good things must come to an end, and this wasnt an exception for the roaring 20's. This ending came unexpectedly when the The Stock Market Crash, also known as the Great Crash occured. When people hear this word, they think of one of the greatest causes of the Great Depression. Many people lost alot of their money and even lost their jobs. It was a terrible tragedy in the history of the United States and people hope that there will never be a Great Crash like this again.

People believe that the stock market crash of 1929 was caused by the stocks being over priced, also that there was very little margin relative to the value of the market and that there were massive frauds and illegal activity in the stocks. However, this is only the thin layer of what really caused the great crash of 1929.
