A Stock Market History Guide

By Matt Harris

In today's world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate. While I was gathering facts for this article, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed.

In 1929, one of the darkest times in stock market history, as well American history took place. During the famous "Black Tuesday" the ticker tape fell behind by two and a half hours. But if we the church in America will stand in the gap and humble ourselves and pray we will see the biggest explosion in stock market history. Every nation is either under a blessing or a curse depending upon the condition of the church of Jesus Christ within it. Yes, we've even included a relatively recent addition in this article on stock market history. And that's because we recognize the importance of this particular exchange.

That's because while most bear markets more or less track the business cycle, this one began with a broken financial system. That makes the current bear more like the one that snarled from 1929-32 than others of the past 100 years. This was, as far as we know, the first software designed to analyze any price series in relationship to planetary cycles. The program introduced composite cycles and a facility to analyze the effect of aspects on any market. There are many characteristics of stock market that are revealed by the chart history like stock market matrix, significant swings, secular cycles, Generation returns, distorted averages etc. Various mutual funds and institutional investors study the chart history comprehensively, before making any investment.

Then, when the cycle turns against them and the risks turn sour, they try to cover it up and begin lying to their customers, to regulators and to each other. Trust erodes, and the whole thing collapses. We appear to be entering one of these historic cycles at this seminal point in the maturation of the human race.

Now that we've covered those aspects of stock market, let's turn to some of the other factors that need to be considered.

The main reason is that people are naturally cautious, especially with their own money, and the return on stocks is highly volatile from day to day. This inclination toward caution is perfectly reasonable, reflecting an intuitive understanding of an important financial truth: the average return is not the only thing that matters when evaluating an investment. Shiller, a respected expert on market volatility, offers an unconventional interpretation of recent U.S. He warns that poorer performance may be in the offing and tells us how we--as a country and individually--can respond.

The inclusion of the names of certain stocks is only for educational purposes and not as a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or short the stock. Trademarks mentioned are owned by their respective trademark holders. If such a time comes, and your stock is close to your buy in- sell it. Then when everyone is preaching hellfire and damnation, saying the next depression is here, buy the hell out of it. Even before the market opened, major securities houses were being flooded with sell orders. By the time the market closed for lunch at midday the Nikkei average of 225 stocks was down a record 1,873.80 yen to 23,872.80, a drop of about 7.3 percent.

That's right folks, you have just lived through the 20 best sessions for gains in US stock market history. Even as I sit here in my bear fur coat - not seriously - I still have to admit that it's pretty incredible. Finally, seven months ago, the collapse of Lehman Brothers ushered in one of the worst sell offs in stock market history, and a near-implosion of banks and other financial institutions around the world. - 23196
