Thanks, KIS. I understand that the crash in 1929 exacerbate the natural decline of RCA price. As pointed out by William, part of the reason for 1929 crash is the loose margin requirement. Before the 1929 crash, did RCA slightly decline or was RCA right at its peak? How long did it take for RCA to drop 10%, 20%, 40%, 50%, etc.? It is pity that I can not find its stock chart.
