The Stock Market Crash of 1929 occurred during a period of unregulated wealth and excess. On  October 14, 1929, investors were selling stock in large amounts. In order to halt the slide in the Dow Jones, the market indicator for the purchase and sale of stocks, Richard Whitney, the Vice President of the Stock Exchange, initiated a plan to purchase large quantities of blue chip stocks, stocks in large and reputable companies. This action resulted in temporarily halting the slide in stocks. The value of the market had increased tenfold in the 1920's as a result of speculation and inflated value in the market. A margin call occurs when value of the account falls below the broker's required minimum. While Whitney invested in the market to halt complete collapse, Charles Merrill of Bank of America suggested that his clients eliminate their financial obligations entirely. He realized that the value of the market was inflated and that the rise in stocks had peaked. The crash itself witnessed a lost of more than $30 billion in value in two days. Both General Electric and General Motors lost more than fifty percent of the value of their stocks during the crash.

For the answer to the question above, e<span>ven though the majority of birds after 1977 had deeper beaks, there was still variation in beak size in the population. As seed type and seed availability changed, birds with beaks suited to exploit abundant seeds had higher reproductive success.</span>
