It was a trillion that never really existed in the first place. It was
just phony paper "money" they created out of thin air.


Some real truth to that. If you exclude dividents, where there is a
winner there is a loser. A zero sum game. The economy is say worth 100
units. Than the market swings are irrelivant, your percentage of the
units is all that maters.

Being a zero sum game, the odds are better than Vegas.


well...no. because 100 units today are not worth the same as 100 units
yesterday

golly. you really are stupid, aren't you?

oh, yeah. you're right wing.
