The stock market crash of October 24, 1929, also known as “black tuesday” is the worst financial panic the country has ever seen as it caused devastation for families and businesses across Canada. In the past, our market were as well as that of america and has had rapid expansion, reaching its peak in August of this year, after a period of wild investment in stocks by people of all economic classes, in the hope of gain and the lack of regard for the risk of loss. By that time, production had diminished and unemployment had risen. Stocks were in overabundance of their real value.Some other causes of this market collapse seem to be our low wages, our struggling agricultural sector, the rapid increase of debt and an excess of large bank loans that could not be liquidated. At this point many lost faith in Wall Street, which led to an unhealthy economy with little confidence in the market.Last tuesday began with nearly all brokers making margin calls for additional funds  to cover their positions. More and more of their calls were left unanswered and they began to throw sell orders into the market in order to protect themselves. The prudent actions of the people turned into fear of selling to late and the crash of the  market began to accelerate. The fear turned into panic and sock prices started to collapse completely. Banking support unable to prevent break accompanied by Wild Trading.
