Stock market crash! It looks like today it crashed? Will this be as bad as 1929?

Let's hope not. But it could be eye opening. The whole economy is based on debt financing and it seems that a good part of that debt will not be recovered which means that future debt financing might be just a little bit more difficult to come by. Now what will be interesting is what will happen if lenders decide that lending to the U S government is not such a great idea any longer. That might have interesting repercussions.

I've seen a lot of these crashes. I remember back in 1987 when the market crashed over 20% in one day, and the nervous nellies were running around worrying. The stock market drops; the stock market comes back. There is no good evidence we are going into a depression. It looks like it will probably be a mild recession, although these things are hard to predict. If you can't stand the ups and downs, stay out. If you are able to handle your emotions and stomach the roller coaster, buy tomorrow when the market opens lower. (The market will most likely open lower considering the drop in foreign markets.)

This is nothing like 1929 or even 1987.

i think you are watching way too much SQUAWK BOX that you need to turn it off.

The US market was closed for MLK day Monday, so how does a closed market look like it crashed?

1929 will never happen again. Laws and regulations were enacted to prevent a repeat. Economics have dramatically changed since then.

Not to say fanancial meltdowns won't happen again. They will be nothing like 1929.

Even in the 1929 crash the market doubled back up from it's low point in 6 months. There is always a market.

Few people really understand why today is different from 1929. Back in 1929 the U.S. was on a gold standard. That was huge in contributing to the downfall of the market. Back then every U.S. dollar was backed by gold. Today that would be impractical. Essentially you could trade your dollar in for gold at any point. There is more to this, but that was one of the major causes for the Great Depression. This essentially caused a dramatic overvalueing of the U.S. dollar which ultimately less to a giagantic bubble burst on black tuesday.
The U.S. is deeply in debt, tremendously in debt. But in reality we aren't nearly as in debt as we were during WWII. We were so far in debt we couldn't even see the top of the hole we were in. So you always need to look at debt as a % of GDP. Granted I wish our government was more fiscally responsible. But that is just how it is. I'm and investor/businessman/working professional, and right now is a great time to buy into the market. This is dollar/cost averaging at its best. In 2 years we will be breaking all-time highs again. After the Fed slashes rates next week, housing will bottom out and start to turn around, Then lots of good things will follow.

Nobody can answer that. Stock market crashes are unpredictable.

Also, just a note: everyone always mentions 1929, but Black Monday, 1987 was worse. That was a one day 29% drop.
