I heard on the news a little while ago that the stock market took a one trillion dollar ($1,000,000,000,000.00) hit today. It sounded bad when they were talking points and percentages, but when they put a dollar figure on it, it gets your attention.
Almost makes me glad I was already poor.
Edited to change $1,000,000,000.00 to $1,000,000,000,000.00

I've heard about this big bridge in New York City that is for sale. Anyone want to buy it?

And what exactly does that mean? "The market" lost a trillion dollars in actual cash?

Hell, I don't know. I doubt there is $1,000,000,000,000 in actual cash. It's a trillion dollars that people had this morning that doesn't exist now.

I can't fathom how much a trillion dollars is, but I know how much a billion is!!
IF you had one billion dollars in a cookie jar(a very large one!)in other words, no interest. You could take out $100,000.00 a day for over 26 years!! That's a lot of money!! I can't imagine how much a trillion would be..................Of course, if we could get it in singles and go to the tittie bar, we could have a ball!![:D][:D]
They said on the news last night that the one trillion dollars was a 6% drop. The market will correct itself over time.
