A YouTube talk by Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim that reviews major historical market crashes (notably the 1929 Wall Street Crash and the 2008 global financial crisis) and reflects on their impacts for investors. The speaker links broad historical consequences (e.g., the Great Depression) to personal experience as an investor, indicating the video will combine historical overview with practical lessons.
And the 1929 Wall Street Crash, which is the one that a lot of us studied when we first started them investing in the stock market, it was disastrous. And it happened in the US so it's less than 100 years ago that that happened. It led to the Great Depression, spread all over the world. People were struggling, people were broke. And there are many others in between that I've not mentioned. But one of the ones I actually experienced when I was a relatively new investor, Maybe in my fourth or fifth year as an investor, was the 2008 global financial crisis. And that was really bad. I think a lot of us here were around then. I don't know how many of us were investing.
