Obviously we are not at the 80% drop of the stock market, the 50% mortgage default, the 25% unemployment rate, etc. That was his point. All those factors in 1929 - and we were currently on the same path for all those adverse numbers. Did I say the stock market had hit the bottom yet? Obviously not.

His projection using 1929 suggests how much worse things could get.
