Further Explanations:

The most distinguished reason behind the occurrence of the “Stock Market crash” of 1929 was the under-production of goods due to the tacticsof President “Herbert Clark Hoover”. The occurrence of Great depression was a reason for the fall of the stock market. The crash created havoc in the stock market and as a result of its shareholders sold their share even below its nominal price. The net worth of 396 billion days of today was incurred as the loss of the crash and because of this much loss, most of the banks of the nation declared itself insolvent. Other effects of the crash were mass unemployment, reduction of credit, cessations of businesses and other disappointing events.

Hoover promise speech during his oath created a rapid fluctuation in the price of the share. This fluctuation even beyond genuine worth unlocked the path of the crash.  Hoover though was warned numerous times about the situation but he engaged himself in the institution of the “Federal Reserve System” to beat up the Great Depression.
