Best Answer

Herbert Hoover won the 1928 US presidential elections in November. The years preceding his election were good times economically for the US. He was prepared for a continuing period of prosperity. He was sworn in in March of 1929, about six months before the Stock Market crash of October 1929. The major event of his presidency he was not prepared for. He had no crystal ball that may have warned him that bad times were on the way. Based on the crash, nothing helped him prepare for it. This statement is sound when the economy was growing and no one was really predicting the size and steepness of the crash.
