It seems everyone is comparing our current financial crisis to the Great Depression. I thought I would compare this stock market "crash" to the one in 1929. Basically I found the day that stocks (Dow Jones Industrial) dropped to 80% of a recent high (October 24, 1929 and Oct 7, 2008). These are day 0. The bottom axis is relative to these days so that we get a good overlay.
The 100 day view shows that the two track closely. The 3 year view shows that this might take a while. (Click on images to see larger graph).
Updated December 5, 2008. Now using two axes to display actual dollar values.
