I think the better comparison would be what happened to gold stocks during the '29 crash. macro economically, it's a much more analogous period. the only chart I've seen was on richard russell's web site. it was a two decade monthly chart of homestake mining during the 20s and 30s. I recall that it's hard to tell, but it looked like it didn't drop much more than 15%.

thanks for sharing the charts. thats a problem with crashes or hard selloffs...the baby gets thrown out with the bath water. imo its due to margin calls. folks have to raise cash so they are forced to sell everything
