Similiar to what is happening in the 2000s, back in 1929, stock prices were overvaluated and that came in conjunction with a crappy real state market. People were spending a lot of money during the 1920s (a little like what happen in the 1990s) because they were investing again, after the end of the Great World War of 1914-18, and things just got worse and worse in terms of economic speculation.

Basically there were several aspects of the crash, but the main ones were:

- High speculation
- High stock prices / Overvalued stock
- Downturn of the real state market
