Today vs. 1929? Look at this:

Don't worry too much as today is nothing like '29. Back then we had no trade deficit, a positive savings rate, the public were not participants in the stock market broadly (remember, most were farmers and labor), debt as a percentage of household income was at much, much lower levels, and credit was not generally available in mass quantities to anyone with a pulse. Lastly, and most importantly, we didn't have instantaneous decision making power via the Internet.

Hope that makes everyone feel a bit calmer about this market.
