1929 Wall Street Stock Market Crash


The most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States; Its from my favorite documentary by PBS – New York. This particular part about Wall Street crash of 1929 is from episode 5 of the series with title: Cosmopolis there are lots of archive photos, footages and drawings throughout the series and in my opinion it was great work done with finding them. series website: www.pbs.org “Archival shoots took place at various historical and cultural institutions, including the New-York Historical Society, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Library of Congress, and focused on the filming of particularly rare or large-scale archival prints, lithographs, maps, and photographs”

Why would there be a difference of betas between S&P500 and Dow Jones as benchmarks of a portfolio?

We took five funds, all with 10 years of data and compared them to the S&P500 and Dow Jones (also with 10 years of data) to compute betas. There is a small difference between the two. I know that one reason is for the 500 companies in the S&P500 and the 30 in the Dow Jones. Can any one tell me additional reasons?

I am looking for a firm specific news that effected its share prices big time?

This news event should be fairly recent (within 6 months). Also, I am going to need a lots of financial articles about the event…I would also like to know if the market is efficient , semi-strong efficient, weak-form efficient or inefficient…
Actually I dont know the company name. I was trying to find out if there is a company in past 6 months that had a big news event…and once I know the company and the news event I can do the research myself…I kinda need it now rather than waiting for a news to happen…

How does the housing market affect the stock market so much?

I heard that the housing market being low in sales and with the forclousure market crashing, it is affecting investors so much that they are moving money out of equities (stocks) and investing more in safer investments. Thats why the stock market has been down so much in the past week.

How does this happen? I was reading about it, but I didn’t really understand. Are investors pulling out their stocks from big lenders? How exactly does it affect the stock market? I need help understanding it in normal terms that make sense.

Please advise, thank you!!

Dow Jones Index

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSE: DJI, also called the DJIA, Dow 30, INDP, or informally the Dow Jones or The Dow) is one of several stock market indices, created by nineteenth-century Wall Street Journal editor and Dow Jones & Company co-founder Charles Dow. It is an index that shows how certain stocks have traded. Dow compiled the index to gauge the performance of the industrial sector of the American stock market. It is the second-oldest U.S. market index, after the Dow Jones Transportation Average, which Dow also created. The average is computed from the stock prices of 30 of the largest and most widely held public companies in the United States. The "industrial" portion of the name is largely historical—many of the 30 modern components have little to do with traditional heavy industry. The average is price-weighted. To compensate for the effects of stock splits and other adjustments, it is currently a scaled average, not the actual average of the prices of its component stocks—the sum of the component prices is divided by a divisor, which changes whenever one of the component stocks has a stock split or stock dividend, to generate the value of the index. Since the divisor is currently less than one, the value of the index is higher than the sum of the component prices.
