The Stock Market crash was the signal that the Great Depression had begun. There was over speculation in the Stock Market, which was not regulated.Many Americans purchased stock on credit. This was known as margin buying. Many businesses that were listed on the Market were not checked out by brokers and many were not worth what they were valued at on the Stock Market. There were no government regulations so a company could claim whatever wealth it wanted. A lot of the companies only existed on paper and many who invested in the stock market did not check to make sure the company was legit. This was a period when everyone thought the Stock Market would continue to climb but beneath the surface of this false boom time were events that were causing the economy to crumble.

Why Stock prices first began to decline late 1929 because?

Stock prices began to decline in late 1929 primarily due to a combination of speculative excess, overvaluation, and economic instability. Investors, who had heavily speculated on rising prices, started to panic as signs of an economic downturn emerged, leading to widespread selling. The market's volatility was exacerbated by a lack of regulatory oversight and the interconnectedness of financial institutions, which heightened fears about the economy's resilience. This culminated in the stock market crash of October 1929, marking the beginning of the Great Depression.
