On Oct. 24, 1929, nervous investors began selling shares, worried about speculation that an impending crash could occur.

Over the decades, there have been a few particularly harsh stock market crashes. Near the start of the pandemic in 2020, there was a 34-per-cent stock market drop but a surprisingly quick turnaround followed.
