The economic boom of the 1920s came to a sudden end in October 1929 when some big investors realised that share prices had risen too high. They began to sell large numbers of shares. This led to the panic selling of shares which resulted in the Wall Street Crash.

The stock market frenzy carried on through the late 1920s. Everyone gave you advice on how to make money. Everyone was playing the market. Share prices rose sharply. I found it hard not to be sucked in. I had invested my American earnings in good shares. Should I sell for a profit? Everyone said, “Hang on, share prices are still going up.”
From the autobiography of Cecil Roberts, a British journalist who worked in New York during the late 1920s. His book, The Bright Twenties was published in 1938.
