In response to ""On the day President Kennedy was assassinated, theDow fell by about 3%, but prices recovered within a week. The effect on prices was largely confined" by Don Homer

the stock market was controlled by a handful of brokerage houses and a couple dozen independents, I'll bet they didn't even have a news ticker running

I'd say more stocks trade in a second now than traded in a day back then
