Dave, one other difference is that, when the dive started in 29, the banks decreased margin requirements from 40% to 25% in an attempt to provide additional liquidity and forestall massive margin calls. Of course, that backfired, but today we have the opposite on margin rates, they get increased. Although the end effect is the same, the magnitude is not as great, because the margin calls take place much sooner instead of massive margin presure building up.
