>>Unemployment was at 25% in the 30's<<

Point well taken. And two banks failed per day during the "boom" times of '24-'29. And 30% of all stockholdings were on margin at the peak. A lot of downside fuel there.

On the other hand, we've never had such widespread participation in the stock market before. So what effect would a prolonged stock market downturn have? I assume we are in uncharted territory there (but by no means 1930s bad).

The Dow looks okay here, but it doesn't begin to hit resistance until 9650-9800 at this point, IMHO.
