1993: The Wall Street Journal publishes a survey of ten market pundits, asking them when the bull market, now 1,127 days old, will end. Nearly every one predicts a 10% decline by mid-1994, and famed market forecaster Joe Granville declares that the Dow will drop to about 2,900 by the spring of 1994. (By March, 1994, the Dow is at 3,800.)

1929: For much of the abbreviated three-hour trading day, investors breathe a sigh of relief, as the market's recent panic seems to lift. Up till the last hour, volume is light and stocks hold steady. Then a tidal wave of selling crashes onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, driving U.S. Steel down 6.5%. General Electric and New York Central Railroad hit new lows for the year, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average finishes with one of its worst days ever, losing 6.8%.
