It doesn't happen on one day when a crash happens! We say that the great crash happened on October 29th, 1929 but it had started before that and went on for weeks! In hindsight it's date was put to that day because that was the worst day of all. On that day Jesse Livermore became the richest man in earth shorting the fuck out of everything!! But if the collapse takes longer it will do more damage. Fast is better. Then at least the shrewd investors can step in and trade their value and create demand. The shock will put the sheeple in a bind. Sell your soul for entry into the new world economy or learn how to survive on the outskirts of society!
