2000 - 2002 Stock Market Crash:
The 10th worst market crash barely edged out the 1932 stock market crash as the 10th worst crash in U.S. stock market history. Being the most recent crash, it is the easiest for us to remember. This crash required the longest recovery time of all crashes in this list. The combination of the tech bubble bursting and the September 11th terrorist attack served a deadly blow to the stock market, but relative to markets past, this was a minor one. 10th Worst Stock Market Crash:
Date Started: 1/15/2000 Date Ended: 10/9/2002 Total Days: 999 Starting DJIA: 11,792.98 Ending DJIA: 7,286.27 Total Loss: -37.8% 1916 - 1917 Stock Market Crash:
If the 1930s sounded like a long time ago, well to find the 9th worst market crash, I had to go back to the WWI era. As you will see, this market suffered about a 40% loss. It's difficult to break even after a 40% loss. On a $1,000 investment, your portfolio went down to $600. To get back to $1,000, it would have to go up 66.7%! 9th Worst Stock Market Crash:
Date Started: 11/21/1916 Date Ended: 12/19/1917 Total Days: 393 Starting DJIA: 110.15 Ending DJIA: 65.95 Total Loss: -40.1% 1939 to 1942 Stock Market Crash:
Although this stock market crash only took the 8th spot, it was one of the most grueling. It took nearly 3 years to recover from this crash! With WWII and the attack on Pearl Harbor, the markets had a very tough time. 8th Worst Stock Market Crash:
Date Started: 9/12/1939 Date Ended: 4/28/1942 Total Days: 959 Starting DJIA: 155.92 Ending DJIA: 92.92 Total Loss: -40.4% 1973 - 1974 Stock Market Crash:
Another long market crash -one that many people still remember (think Vietnam and the Watergate scandal). This crash lasted for 694 days before bottoming out. 7th Worst Stock Market Crash:
Date Started: 1/11/1973 Date Ended: 12/06/1974 Total Days: 694 Starting DJIA: 1051.70 Ending DJIA: 577.60 Total Loss: -45.1% 1901 - 1903 Stock Market Crash:
This is the oldest crash to make the list (DJIA records are not available before 1900). To give you a perspective of what things were like during this time, take a look at these facts:
6th Worst Stock Market Crash:
Date Started: 6/17/1901 Date Ended: 11/9/1903 Total Days: 875 Starting DJIA: 57.33 Ending DJIA: 30.88 Total Loss: -46.1% 1919 - 1921 Stock Market Crash:
This crash followed a post war boom (Stock prices rose 51%). After the crash bottomed out in August of 1921, this decade saw tremendous growth in the stock market and the economy (often called the roaring twenties). The 5th worst stock market crash:
Date Started: 11/3/1919 Date Ended: 8/24/1921 Total Days: 660 Starting DJIA: 119.62 Ending DJIA: 63.9 Total Loss: -46.6% The 4th worst stock market crash in U.S. History:
Although this is the shortest market crash observed, it was a deadly one. Investors saw almost half their money disappear in just two months. Often this crash is the worst in most people's minds. This crash kicked off what we now know as the "Great Depression." 4th Worst Stock Market Crash : Date Started: 9/3/1929 Date Ended: 11/13/1929 Total Days: 71 Starting DJIA: 381.17 Ending DJIA: 198.69 Total Loss: -47.9% 1906 - 1907 Stock Market Crash:
This crash was called the "Panic of 1907." The U.S. Treasury department bought 36 million dollars worth of government bonds to offset the decline (and remember, $36 million translates to a much bigger number in today's dollars). 3rd Worst Stock Market Crash:
Date Started: 1/19/1906 Date Ended: 11/15/1907 Total Days: 665 Starting DJIA: 75.45 Ending DJIA: 38.83 Total Loss: -48.5% 1937 - 1938 Stock Market Crash:
Just when investors thought the market was finally good again, following a recovery of almost half of the great depression losses, the market plunged again due to war scare and Wall street scandals. 2nd Worst Stock Market Crash:
Date Started: 3/10/1937 Date Ended: 3/31/1938 Total Days: 386 Starting DJIA: 194.40 Ending DJIA: 98.95 Total Loss: -49.1% 1932 Stock Market Crash:
This is the grand daddy of them all. Investors lost 86% of their money over this 813 day beast. This market crash combined with the 1929 crash, makes up the great depression. If you had $1000 on 9/3/1929 (beginning of the 4th worst crash, it would have gone down to a whopping $108.14 by July 8th, 1932 (end of the worst crash) or an 89.2% loss. To recover from a loss like that, you would have to watch your portfolio go up 825%! The full recovery didn't take place until 1954, 22 years later! Worst Stock Market Crash Ever:
