Awesome mega losses

Glad it's more than just us lowly American taxpayers losing so much.

Usually these people just lose money on paper but apparently many of these are actually having to pony up real assets.

Ole Uber misses the point, the exception does not prove the the rule, when the food chain collapses from the bottom, its those on the top of the food chain that are often
the very people to feel the most pain first.

To give a somewhat dubious argument, when the giant rock that hit earth some 60 billion years ago, and ended the age of the dinosaurs, those at the top of the food chain, namely the T-Rex type predators not killed by the initial impact, feasted on the dead and plant eaters slowly starving to death.

But when that bottom of the food chain died off, the preditors stared to death also.

But that giant rock impact did not kill off the food chain, it just killed off the top of the food chain. Greed is not good.

o' I got the point. I was just making a joke.😀
 
Yeh- tears in my eyes as big as horseturds. Must be really terrible, losing $30B and having "only" $12B left...

Anybody here silly enough to think it'll affect his lifestyle in the slightest?

With the exceptions of the few who lost everything because they weren't properly diversified, the only suffering they'll endure is the damage to their egos...
 
Most of these losses were imaginary ones to begin with. Its like if I bought a share of stock for $5 and it went to $250 and then dropped to $2. Did I lose $3 or $248?
