In Oct. of 2002, the NASDAQ dropped as low as 1,108.49 which is a 78.4% drop from its all-time high of 5,132.52 in Mar. of 2000.
Stocks were trading in the hundreds and some in the thousands on a P/E basis.
It would take the stock market about 30 years to make it back to the 1929 highs, though most investors would have recovered their losses in the 30's through dividend returns.

 Wikinfo | Stock market bubble
A Stock market bubble is a type of economic bubble in which an exaggerated bull market where the value of stocks listed on a stock exchange rise dramatically upon a wave of public enthusiasm.
Still other examples of stock market bubbles include Japanese stocks in the late-1980s, Nifty 50 stocks in the early 1970s, and Taiwanese stocks in 1987.
A stock market bubble may set the stage for a later stock market crash, continuing our example, the Stock Market Crash of 2002.

 JULY 2002 STOCK MARKET CRASH?: THE PUETZ WINDOW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
There is an interesting astronomical consideration regarding the current stock market sell-off that suggests we are currently in the midst of a full-scale crash (by “crash” I mean a 20-50% plunge in stock prices in a matter of a few trading days).
He studied eight of the greatest crashes in financial history, from the Holland Tulip Mania of 1637 to the Nikkei collapse of 1990.
He found that market panics tend to occur around the time of full moons, and that the greatest number of crashes start after the first full moon after a solar eclipse, when that full moon is also a lunar eclipse.

 Lope Markets - 1987 Stock Market Crash Page
If we have insights into understanding the 1987 market crash, the most tumultuous movement ever in recent market history, then the basis exists for us get a better understanding of the market as a whole, and from there contribute a few insights into the inner workings of human nature.
To put it briefly, in 1987, market participants felt that conditions were starting to resemble 1929, the year of the well known crash that ushered in the Great Depression.
Market participants started to compare the long seven year bull markets that characterized each era, and to many observers, the peaks and valleys near the end of their long bull moves seemed to overlap each other (see chart).

 Stockmarket Cycles Current Observations
If the stock market were declining into the time zone encompassed between the last quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, we could make a strong argument that a very important market bottom was being registered.
The June 1949 market bottom was notable, not because there was a large decline into that time period, but because it was a springboard for a market rally that would, in effect, last for almost 17 years.
We believe the market is living in an endangered time zone and, although we will present evidence in the technical section that the top has not yet occurred, we should be prepared at any market downturn to concede the possibility the market has registered a very important high.

 What Happens in a Stock Market Crash
They may even refer to the stock market crash of 1987 - or even to the 1929 stock market crash - when justifying their lack of interest in the market.
When the stock market takes a downturn, job loss, slow GDP growth, slow economic growth, and devastated consumer confidence are often the results.
Since the crash often follows a bull market, many people are panicked by the sudden economic downturn and may become even more cautious with their money, which can further hinder financial growth.

 Stock market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A stock market is a market for the trading of company stock, and derivatives of same; both of these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.
Such indices are usually market capitalization (the total market value of floating capital of the company) weighted, with the weights reflecting the contribution of the stock to the index.
Stock that a trader does not actually own may be traded using short selling; margin buying may be used to purchase stock with borrowed funds; or, derivatives may be used to control large blocks of stocks for a much smaller amount of money than would be required by outright purchase or sale.

 The Sequel to the Stock Market Bubble: The Housing Bubble, a column by Mark Weisbrot
As the stock market bubble ballooned to its pre-crash peak four years ago, those who held to the philosophy of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" put forth a variety of alternatives to the laws of arithmetic.
Even after the stock market crashed in 2000-2002, financial "experts" -- the same ones who mistakenly counseled unfortunate 401 (k) investors that there was "no way" anyone investing in the stock market for the long run could lose -- recommended housing as the next big thing.
The collapse of the stock market bubble caused a recession in 2001, followed by a jobless recovery of unprecedented weakness in the labor market.

 Elliott Wave Insights - Part II
It was shown that the 1990's stock market extension leading to the "Orthodox Top" and "Irregular Top" took on a time frame and magnitude that, when compared to the same stock market pattern in the 1920's, was much larger than that of the 1920's.
Since the wave pattern for the 1920's is so similar to that of the 1990's, a further comparison of the 1929 stock market chart after the ultimate peak of early September through the crash of October with the corresponding period since early 2000 is most instructive.
In that case, the stock market "crash" corresponding to that of the autumn of 1929 would appear to occur in slow motion.

 What Caused the Stock Market Crash of 1987?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
The Brady Commission [also known as the Presidential Task Force on Market Mechanisms, which was appointed to investigate the causes of the crash], concluded that the failure of stock markets and derivatives markets to operate in sync was the major factor behind the crash.
Another important trigger in the market crash was the announcement of a large U.S. trade deficit on October 14, which led Treasury Secretary James Baker to suggest the need for a fall in the dollar on foreign exchange markets.
What the 1987 crash ultimately accomplished was to teach politicians that markets heed their words and actions carefully, reacting immediately when threatened.

 DECEMBER 2002 STOCK MARKET CRASH?: THE PUETZ WINDOW
During the dramatic July sell-off in stocks I posted an article examining a special astroharmonic relationship between market crashes and solar and lunar eclipses that is called a "Puetz window".
While a major stock market slide of more than 20 percent did occur during the Puetz crash window which closed on July 17th, a full-fledged, history-making panic did not unfold.
However, since the timeframe between November 13th and 22nd is associated with a lunar eclipse, there is a chance for a stock market crash during just this specific window.

 RETURN OF THE GODS WEBSITE--Coming Stock Market Crash?
But whether the next crash comes in 2001 or 2002, or some other year close at hand; what is already certain is that you have a pattern of excessive speculation now in place, which probably exceeds the levels two to three years before any of the referenced tops.
Similarly, while under ordinary circumstances the broader the public participation in a Market, the healthier the Market; in moments of panic, the greater the percentage of the public involved, the greater both the damage and the difficulty at amelioration.
While stocks on the way up afford engines for general growth, as sellers obtain the benefits of rising prices, with cash proceeds that they can invest more optimally elsewhere; a crashing market destroys value, with no offsetting benefit to anyone.

 The crash of 2002 - Jul. 19, 2002
The crash of 2002 - Jul. 19, 2002
People worry that, with $7.7 trillion knocked off U.S. market capitalization since March 2000 ($750 billion in the past week alone!), the selling will bleed into the economy, not just snuffing the recovery but sending the country into a deflationary episode like the one Japan labors under.
Padinha, however, thinks the notion that the market could sink the economy is just wrong, an idea bred by Wall Street economists who are a little too close to stocks.
