Was there a stagnant stock market during the 1920s?

A stagnant market would be characterized by a lack of price movement and sluggish trading activity. The stock market of the 1920s was anything but stagnant and prices throughout the decade exhibited extreme volatility.After World War I the United States entered a period of prosperity known as the Roaring Twenties and investors poured money into the stock market. From 1920 to the peak in September 1929 the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose tenfold and speculation was rampant as investors convinced themselves that stock prices could only continue to rise.On October 28 and 29, 1929, stocks plunged over 24% and these two days became known as Black Monday and Black Tuesday. After some brief oversold rallies, the Dow Jones continued to sell off and did not reach a bottom until mid 1932 at which point the Dow Jones had fallen almost 90% from the peak set in 1929.
