The Panic Of 1901: Track Wars
Documentaries • 15m
The Panic of 1901 recounts the story of one of Wall Street's first, largest, and almost forgotten stock market panic. Set in the backdrop of the post-Civil War railroad expansion boom, the attempted corner of Northern Pacific Railroad shares by EH Harriman against rival tycoon JP Morgan shook the market to its core. Long before GameStop (GME), AMC, and Bed, Bath and Beyond (BBBYQ), the Northern Pacific short squeeze darkened the headlines with tales of avarice and financial ruin.
Join StockCharts TV as we explore the chaotic history of Wall Street's most intriguing, notorious, and destructive Panics and Crashes.
