    DBQ: The Great Depression

    The collapse of stocks and the Great Depression caused widespread fear and panic among civilians. “The exchange became a betting ring where people gambled on stocks like if it was a roulette or horse race“(Document F). This implies that when the stock market crashed, everybody lost their money in an instant. Many people bought on margin, as it allowed the investor to enter the market on a shoestring”…

    Rogue Trader

    On February 26, 1995, the oldest British Bank’s declared bankruptcy due to fraud caused the warning bells for many other organizations about the level of danger fraud can cause. Nick Lesson, a guy who comes from a background of the working class, had been working for Royal Bank Coutts, Morgan Stanley for a couple of years until he finally joined the Barings. He was assigned a job in Barings (Jakarta) to sort out a back-office mess that involves about £100 million in share certificate. After successfully completing his job assignment, Nick was transferred to Barings in Singapore to work as a derivative trader for both Singapore and Japan. Nick caused the lost for Barings Bank of almost 1.4 billion due to the enormous accumulation of trading obligations that he had built up. Nick Lesson thought he could make up the loss by waiting for the market price to go up, but it never happened since the earthquake in Kobe in 1995 was totally out of his plan. Knowing that the bank wouldn’t be able to make up for the loss, Nick ran away with his wife and was caught afterward. Barings declared bankruptcy in February 1995 and was bought by Dutch Bank for £1.…

    Personal Summary: The Stock Market Game

    Three months ago, if someone asked me about stock and how I think about the stock market, I would try to change the topic because I knew nothing about it at that time. However, right now, everything has changed for me and one of the reasons for that is The Stock Market Game. To be more specific, the game showed me how to keep an eye on the stocks, how good researches help you and how real life event, like the crash of crude oil or the -18% drop of the China market, could affect your stocks. With that being said, the program also taught me that you should sell your stock immediately after it rose or declined, that you should wait if you want to make the most out of your stocks, and that don’t just buy expensive stocks because cheap stocks could earn you some money, which I had learnt the hard way. In short, the game had open my eyes to another level about stocks and the market.…

    Stocks for the Long Run Summary

    From the works of Siegel’s previous works such as The Future for Investors we can assume that his keen subject is based on investments. But in Stocks for the Long Run he did not confine to successful investing and broadened towards subjects that pertained to historical events. Immediately from the first part titled “The Verdict of History,” Siegel’s publication illustrated the historical shifts that the financial markets have gone through. Beginning with the early 19th century to 1926 the author reminds us about the booming era that transformed America “from an agrarian to an industrialized economy” (4). But such dramatic proliferation invites an unstable economy that will plummet one day. But until then, investors can enjoy the high returns that can literally turn rags into riches. How is this possible? Siegel believes that despite tribulations of the market, a stock in the long run – no matter what – will regain composure and possibly excel. The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn)…

    1987 Stock Market Crash

    1987 Stock Market Crash

    This paper contributes to the overview of U.S. Stock Market Crash of 1987 and it explores the major causes and effects of this crash. According to the Reuters, the crash of 1987 is included in the top five “major stock market crashes” (Narayana). Let us now define this term itself. Stock Market Crash associates with “A rapid and often unanticipated drop in stock prices”(Investopedia). As we can see, this process reflects the decline in stock prices, which likely has a dramatic effect on the global economy. The first biggest occurrence of stock market crash was in 1929, which was followed by the “Great Depression”. The second and not less serious crash was exactly in 1987, which we are going to discuss in the following sections. The next one occurred after ten years, with the epicenter in Asia. The last two vital crashes were in 21st century; one was in 2001 and the other in 2007 (Narayana). All of these crashes damaged the world economy, but the crash of 1987 still stands out. The reason why we chose this crash is that it is characterized as having “the largest one-day decline in stock market values in U.S. history” (Mishkin and White). It is also often compared to the crash of 1929, but it brought much loss to the stock market, for example, in 1929 the Dow Jones index fell by 12.8 per cent, while in October of 1987 it experienced 22.6 per cent decline (Mishkin and White). “ The crash wiped 22.6 percent off the value of the New York Stock Exchange, compared with 12.8 percent on the worst day of the 1929 Wall Street Crash” (Narayana). In the following paragraphs, we will discuss some major causes and effects of this crash and we will also look at the process itself.…

    The Stock Market Crash of 1929

    The Stock Market Crash of 1929

    This boom took stock market to great heights. From 1920 to 1929 stocks more than quadrupled1 in value. Because of such high soaring stocks, they were considered as extremely safe investments. The common man believed stocks to be a “sure thing” thus researching little into the company whose stocks were being bought. Investors started purchasing stock on “margin”. Investors started getting more and more leverage through margin financing their stock investments. Because of this leverage, if a stock went up by a little percentage, the investor received a magnified profit. Unfortunately, this also works the other way around. Small losses were also amplified. Investors went to the extent of mortgaging house and property because most of them never thought that a crash was possible. They thought that the market always “went up”. Tempted by promises of "rags to riches" transformations and easy credit, most investors gave little thought to the systemic risk that arose from widespread abuse of margin financing and unreliable information about the securities in which they were investing.…
