When Bad Things Happen to Good Markets: Part 1 of Our Series on U.S. Downturns
October may not be the cruelest month for investors -- based on the averages, that's September. But when Wall Street stumbles at this point of the year, it stumbles extra hard. And that's why, in the Oct. 3 episode of Motley Fool Answers, Alison Southwick and Robert Brokamp are joined by former Fool Morgan Housel to kick off a four-part series on the history of market crashes in the United States, with a discussion of the big one, the Great Depression. They'll look at its causes, why it was so much worse than prior downturns, how America climbed out, and what today's investors should learn from it.
A full transcript follows the video.
