Today we kept watching the movie. However, we took about 10 minutes to figure out where we left out. Super fun times.
A man talked about the chaos of Black Thursday, where people tried desperatly to sell their stocks but couldn't find bids. As a result, they rallyed in anger and panic infront of the exchange.
One man, Richard Whitney, tried desperatly to stop the crash by buying outragous amounts of key stock. The panic had ended for a day, and for the weekend as well. People started to consider selling, and on Tuesday, they all did. The real crash had finally come, and the efforts of the bankers were fruitless.
Many people, whose lives were in the stock market, commited suicide, or disappeared from society. Even the men that could once be called masters of the universe, fell so far they couldn't climb back up to the top.
