to research what companies or industries did badly in the 2008 debacle, would probably be a fairly simple matter of going to the local library and look at the daily stock tables from a newspaper for a six month period.

For example, Amazon:

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GM/history?p=AMZN

Then set the time period to whatever one is interested in. Here is Amazon (AMZN) from 10/01/2007 to 03/10/2009, showing monthly (one can set to daily or weekly)

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN/history?period1=1191214800&period2=1236661200&interval=1mo&filter=history&frequency=1mo

One can use the same URL for other stocks just by changing the AMZN to whatever the next stock's symbol is.
