C'mon, you just had to wait a few years: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/26/your-money/stocks-and-bon... (note when that was published! Near the low point of the 2008 stock market; Mar 5 2009 was the low point for the Dow.)

Later edit: You can also make the case that the 1929 crash paved the way for an entire class of investors to be physically wiped out about 10 years later, I’m talking about how that economic crisis helped Hitler come to power and about the subsequent physical elimination of most of the European Jews. All I’m saying is that sometimes the apocalyptic estimations really do become true.
Most of the European Jews who were murdered were low- to middle-class. The so-called Yiddishland was largely composed of dirt-poor farmers, not investors.
Yeah, I know that, I'm particularly interested by the history of shepherd Jews that used to live in the region of Maramures (in present-day North-Western Romania), I think they were one of the only such Jewish communities in the whole of Europe. That's not that much written about them, apart from a few blog-posts like this one: https://frgheorghe.wordpress.com/strabunicul-meu-a-fost-evre... (in Romanian, but the photos are unique), but I find their way of living extraordinary nonetheless. Of course that they were all wiped out in 1944.
