REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Samuelson, Robert J. (2020) found that that low interest rates have not proved powerful tools of unmanageable

financial speculation. Due to slowdown in the economy, there would be less chance of increment in salary, wages

and prices.

Josh Barro and Benjamin Hart (2020) have suggested that there is need to prevent a new rampant by

reducing boundaries on human activity like testing, and surveillance and fast and new measures would be effective

enough to prevent uncontrolled incidences. Many sectors of economy would be affected negatively and there is

risk of worse than expected additional economic effects for lengthier that would be very difficult to recover.

Clem Chambers (2020) suggested the intelligent investing strategy for the people who have FOMO (Fear of

Missing Out) to re-enter in the market. He focused re-enter gradually with Cash rich, Cheap Valuation and right

business (Irrespective large, mid or small cap). He suggested for investing 50 percent in view of rescue package.

Clem Chambers (2020) suggested on buying with patience as opportunity of buying has not been lost by anyone

and present recovery is dead cat bounce. Anyone can keep 80 percent cash to buy the final leg of “W”. He also

focused on buying of large cap blue chip companies.

Dr.G. Shanmugasundram and D. John Benedict (2013) observed that different sectorial indices have same

variances. Further, he found a difference in the mean scores of a number of time intermissions. He focused to invest

in indices during high volatility time.

Sean Williams (2020) recognised that the decline of 7.79 percent in DJIA as on March 9, 2020 as Crash 2020”.

He also found the key reason of rising fears over coronavirus disease. He mentioned the chance of U.S. economy

into recession and the stock market into bear zone.

In Indian stock market crash, there was 65 percent decline during crash 2008-09 while there is 38 percent

decline in stock market crash 2020(till 23/03/2020). The key reason are fear of corona-virus, crude oil

prices, depreciation of Indian rupee, selling by FPIs/FIIs, Corona virus declared Pandemic by WHO, FY

2020-21 Union budget, global breakdown during coronavirus pandemic in China and fear of Global

economic slowdown.

The full recovery period from bottom to peak has been observed as 2-2.5 years except 1929 crash.

Indian stock market Sensex has regained to 9266.75 with a rise of 17.45 from its bottom 7610 by April 17,

2020 and BSE has regained to 31588.72 with a rise of 17.75 by April 17, 2020 from its bottom 25981.24

as on 23/03/2020 during less than a period of 1 month.

Fear of liquidity crisis and failure of securities firms, increased the number of margin calls approximately

10 times of their average size and 3 times greater than the highest previous morning call. It became the

cause of mounting selling. Numerous brokerage firms had inadequate cash in customers' accounts and

these firm withdrawn funds from their own capital to encounter the shortage of fund. Bank were also not

confident about their exposure and solvency in high volatile stock market.

Brokers increased more loaning facilities to small investors greater than 67 percent of the stocks purchased

by investors This continue boom in share prices encouraged more investors to invest using margin buying

due to expectation of same repeat in future. This give the birth to bubble in economy.

Due to use of margin for buying in market by investors had to lose big share of their money and they

become failed vey speedily.

CONCLUSIONS& SUGGESTIONS

From the above analysis of stock market crash 1929, Crash 2008-09, crash 1907 and crash 1987, it is

concluded that recovery of the stock market crash is certain on average period and after the recovery of

fall during the crash always stock market create a new peak point in future and good growth . Every crash

bring some reforms in financial system and portfolio management lessons for investors. The investors

without FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) can re-enter in the market gradually with Cash rich, Cheap Valuation

and right business (Irrespective large, mid or small cap) as nobody can’t predict the market. The investors

should avoid use of margin in case of volatile time.
