After telling you a little about the website I would like to talk more about the article I searched and the information gathered from the website. As we all know, not all websites are trustworthy or give information you can comprehend easily. So today we will be looking at factors that make this article comparable like; organization, clear purpose does the article have any videos or pictures that can open.
The beginning of the article has a thirty seconds short trailer about the crash of the stock market in 1929. It was said that before the crash people were making so much money off the market and that day just seconds after the crash the entire world started to panic. After the video that gave a little insight of what the article will present. The article started off by giving a timeline of when it was aired the airing date was October 22nd 2010. The first three paragraphs taught me a great leath about how the stock market was formulated and how it was made public to the less fortunate people. The background information gave me a great knowledge of what the stock market was and how it made the rich richer and also how they manipulated the market at times.
The other four paragraphs went on to tell us about how those people lost all their money in a matter of seconds one of those people was Micheal Meehan. Micheal was making millions from the stock market before it crashed, also he was the person that manipulated the stock market that made RCA go from $2.50 a share which skyrocketed to $500 dollars a share.

Furthermore within the last paragraph the author recommends that you watch a film that is provided by the website of people that had lost all their money during the stock market crash. This was a great way for them to transition from them giving us knowledgeable information, to trying to sell a DVD. Which also gives us a little insight into people’s lives and other information about what happened in the crash of 1929.
