Re: What are the mechanics behind a market crash?
Sort of just one of those things I've never fully understood. I understand how what you're saying would work for an individual stock, but it just seems like a large collection of companies simultaneously releasing terrible earnings reports isn't likely. If it was over the course of weeks or something a large downward spiral would make sense to me, but in the case of one day large crashes, I'm just not sure I understand what causes everyone to bail out of everything at the same time.
