Is it possible for another stock market crash?
IF the dow kepps on getting lower is it possible for another crash? OR have they found a way to prevent that?

Never underestimate human emotion or crowd mentality; is it possible for humans to still panic?

Realistically, there are trading limits and curbs to slow this possibility, and trading halts before it goes into a full-blown crash. Some things though, sometimes, canot be avoided.

Here are the circuit breakers for the NYSE
Level 1 Halt
A 1,250-point drop in the DJIA before 2 p.m. will halt trading for one hour; for 30 minutes if between 2 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. ; and have no effect if at 2:30 p.m. or later unless there is a level 2 halt.

Level 2 Halt
A 2,450-point drop in the DJIA before 1:00 p.m. will halt trading for two hours; for one hour if between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.; and for the remainder of the day if at 2:00 p.m. or later.

Level 3 Halt
A 3,700-point drop will halt trading for the remainder of the day regardless of when the decline occurs.

Technically, a 3,700 pt drop in the Dow would be considered a "crash."

The government won't let that happen....they will start buying with taxpayer funds to hold it up.


MJ
no it might drop lower but i dont think there will be a crash.

Look at it like this everything is on sale right now. YAAAAAAAY!

Can now happen only after a period of sever hyperinflation caused by death from deflation of us the people resource caused by famine, disease, or natural disasters perhaps in unison.

To me it feels like the market is crashing as we speak.

They haven't found a way to prevent stock market crashes. But they have found a way to slow them down.

The New York stock exchange now has a 10% rule. If the Dow Jones Industrial Average declines by 10% in one day, then they will halt all stock trading for 30 minutes. And if the DJIA declines by another 10% after the trading resumes. Then again they will shut down trading for another 30 minutes. And they will keep doing that until the market closes for the day.

Here is where you can read more about it:

The basic reasons that triggered the 1929 crash don't exist anymore. However, market ups and downs will always occur.

1) Yes.
2) Yes. (Japan, Germany, China, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Spain, Brazil, Russia, South Korea, India and Mexico would buy all the shares very cheaply)
