yup, it just shows that the money could have been spent otherwise. 1,000,000 to 600,000 is not just figures. it is real money. pity that most dun see it.

the fact that we are seeing huge losses being racked up globally is due to so called paper losses from CDS, MBS, blah blah blah...nothing concrete just valuations, accounting rules..its not as "virtual" as most ppl think.
