Eighty-nine years ago today, on ‘Black Tuesday’ October 29, 1929, the US stock market collapsed.The crash put a halt to a nine-year bull run on the market. Between October of 1929 and September of 1932, eighty-nine percent of the value of stocks was erased and the market didn’t recover to its former peak until 25 years later.Back then, as in the more recent nine-year bull run that started in 2009, excesses were built on the belief that asset prices can only go up from their current level.With the tide of Central Bank liquidity disappearing fast, that's a hope - not a certainty.
