BS.....the money went to money heaven....stock market losses do not transfer to others...except for some short sellers that were nimble... Think about it...if real estate drops in value, someone else does not reap the reward....the wealth is just....gone.
p2a.you are dead on.the market is here for one reason.to take the public's money and give it to companies.and the insiders.lol. earnings will improve though.when they lay off the next round. facking crooks pumping all over the place. lol.
