1. What is pooling?
Pooling is when wealthy investors buy into stock, and sell to the average consumer. Kind of like buying on margin. The RCA made 100 million dollars in one week because of this. It overinflated stock prices, and there wasn't any government regulation. It wasn't illegal at the time, but it is today.
2. What was the Federal Reserve Board’s take on the booming stock market?
They distrusted it because it was based on borrowed money.
3. What did the Federal Reserve Board do to prevent the crash?
At first they didn't do anything, and that caused people to panic. Eventually they did do something, they rose interest rates 20%
4. What did Charlie Mitchell and several other Wall Street tycoons try to do to stop the crash?
Charlie Mitchell decided to provide money. 25 million from his bank. This brought the stock prices back up. He basically stopped the crash in March of 1929 from happening.
5. What were the causes of the stick market crash based on the video?
No government regulation.
