Dow Jones Bloodbath Mirroring 1929 Rout

A comparison of the current Wall Street crash with the events of 1929 shows that the Dow has at least another 27 per cent drop below the bailout bounce before it bottoms out, despite another rout yesterday after which the Dow had lost over 700 points.

“In 1929 we saw a two day rally of almost 19 per cent followed by a decline of 6 per cent and finally from the recovery high we lost 27 per cent,” Edward Loef from Theodoor Gilissen Bankiers told CNBC this morning.
