What Was Wall Street Like In 1928?

Here's an article giving a glimpse into what Wall Street looked and sounded like in the year before The Crash

Much appreciated! Brings the period to life! The hysteria that infected ordinary people in NYC before the crash is mostly ignored!

"9 out of 10 are gamblers; pure and simple wanting something for nothing". You could say the same to this day regarding day traders. Hasn't changed.

My grandpa was 12 years old that year.

You couldn't find more pictures?

Love your videos. I was wondering if you know of any people that made a lot of money from the stock market collapse? There's always a few who benefit. A video on that would be great.

For those interested in the perspective of an immigrant during this time, I recommend Frederico Lorca's The Poet in New York. He witnessed the soon to come crash, while studying at Columbia.

Good idea for a video

So this is what The Wolf of Wall Street would look like if it had taken place six decades prior!

When Franklin D took over, I think he had wall street regulated so nobody would lose their shirt.

How is a still photo a video? It's not, that's how.
