So let's begin with something interesting. Let;s start with the origins of the Canadian Stock Markets before getting into its decline and how it affected the people. This website will tell you about the origin of TSX ( Toronto Stock Exchange), how an when it started and its position on the present day. TSX is actually considered to be the 12th largest exchange in the world and has more mining, oil and gas industries than any other stock exchange. It was founded on October 25, 1861 and is about 157 years old. By 1936, TSX went on to become the 3rd largest in North America. This website will give you insight on the history in detail. The reason for this website was its detailed information on the history of Canadian Stock Exchange.

So once we know a little bit about the origins of the Canadian Stock market, we will dive straight into the point and see the crash of October 29, 1929. This website will tell us about one of the worst crashes in the history of stock markets and how it affected TSX during this time. The crash of 1929 is called the "BLACK TUESDAY" and was a four day collapse which led to the The Great Depression. This was the time when people saw their investments evaporate in front of their eyes. Not only did the companies lose their money, but also the consumers lost their money because the banks had invested their money without their knowledge or permission. People lost their confidence as they saw their life saving evaporate. This led to The Great Depression. Read in detail about this in Website 2. The reason for this website was its figures, once can clearly see the numbers and figure it out how bad it was.

So this website 3 tell you the reasons of what cause that great crash of 1929. From this website you would come to know on the factors that leads to  the decline of the stock prices and markets in general.  Before 1929, the stock prices were at their peaks and went up 10 times the prices that what they were in 1920. This made everyone want a piece of stock markets and people thought this was easy money. But this is a place that brings you down in no time.  There are other factors like overproduction, oversupplies and how easy it was for people to get loans contributed to this fall and crash of economy. The reason for this website was its information.

This particular website will tell you on how the crash of 1929, affected Canadians. This website will give you some insight on how TSX and Montreal Stock Exchange were shaken and how the investors reacted during this time. This was actually the first time when billions of dollars were lost on Canadian Stock Exchange that too in such a brief time. In Montreal 500,000 shares were sold 5 times the usual amount and in Toronto 330,000 shares were sold 13 times the usual price. 50 most active Canadian stocks diminished to half their market value. This was horrific and the panic and the broken confidence of the people made it worse. This was something that I found very close to what I was looking for and how it affected the bigger companies, made me choose this website.

Canada During The 1930s - The Great Depression

# data[].attributes.body
This video is something that will tell you how Canada was during this time (1930s) during the Great Depression. A lot of factories can into existence in Canada during World War 1, Canada was allowed to overproduce goods, knowing this factory owners stared slowing down the production and stated laying off workers,which caused unemployment and poverty. Canadian economy depended on exports and 40% of which depended on America. So if anything has to happen to America economically, Canada would feel the aftereffects of that. I selected this video because a lot of questions would come up, how and why american economy so important for Canada..

The reason I chose this video was because in four and half minutes, it tells us on the daily life of Canadians in 1930s, how people did not have money to drive vehicles and horses pulling the vehicles became a regular sight in 1930s, how soup kitchens opened and gave out free or inexpensive food to the unemployed. Government also gave relief payments but it was not easy to get relief payments, people who wanted it had to go through a lot before getting their hands on the money. This also change the roles of men and women in the day, it was the first time when women made 25% of the work force. It also tells us about places that were open for women during that time. The Great Depression forced women to make changes on the way their houses operate. This was a bad scenario in which, something good happened, which was women becoming more independent.

1930s Daily Life in Canada - The Great Depression

The collapse of the stock markets was a part of great depression, there were other factors like crises in farming, inequality , overproduction, etc. This video tells us about how loans were easy to get without credit checks, and how people rushed in stock markets to make what they thought was easy money. With a lot of investors as loans 100% loans were approved during that time, a disaster was bound to happen. The stock prices went beyond their real value and the crash happened, markets collapsed, businesses closed, people got unemployed, got homeless. This became worse when the Prairies were hit by a massive drought. People starved and lived on streets. Government set up relief camps.

US stock prices have been booming in the last decade with the S&P Index climbing 318 per cent since 2009.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has also enjoyed a boom adding 299 per cent to its value in a similar period setting alarm bells ringing as experts fear it is overvalued.

Fears have also been raised of the potential impact of computer trading could have in driving a stock price crash.

Instopedia expert Mr Kolakowski said: "Computer-driven program trading, which caused rapid waves of frenzied selling in 1987, as well as later violent market downdrafts such as the 'Flash Crash,' has increased in speed and pervasiveness.

"The upshot is that computerised trading algorithms may pose one of the biggest threats to the markets today."

However, concerns have been deflected by claims that the CAPE Ratio will naturally increase overtime as the US economy develops meaning the current stock values may be more justified than it first appears.

Calmer voices also point to regulation that was brought in following the 1929 crash designed to restrict the growth of a bubble.

The news comes as a global economic advisor warned the lack of fear in markets means investors should be worried about another stock market craAnother market crash could be on the way and investors should fear the lack of caution in markets, Joachim Fels, from the financial investment firm Pimco warned.

Speaking to Bloomberg, he said: "The fact that the fear is gone is the main reason why we should be worried.

"That means most investors are now pretty fully invested and that means they will want to get out if the markets start to correct -- exacerbating the downdraft."

Mr Fels said that because of the continued expansion and strength of markets, it could signal a downturn is on the horizon.

That downturn seems to have arrived in full force today, as the Dow plunged more than 1100 points.

Finally I would like to talk about what stock market is and how it works for a common person who would like to invest and make this their profession or a part time investment thing. This video would tell you a lot on how and what stock markets is and how it functions. This business is unpredictable and one needs to know the right time to enter and exit a particular stock. One must know how much investment to begin which and keep some money save for you to average a stock if it falls from the price you have bought. This is a business I would love to do it, but one needs funds to make this a full time thing. Things like fundamentals and charting are something that would support you during this process of buying and selling. One must be attentive, not greedy when it comes to stock markets. It is difficult to maintain profits and very easy to lose everything in this field. Invest with your mind not with your heart.
