dollars disappeared from existance when people pulled out of the market losing money and dropping the sp's of multitudinous companies. Well it didn't really disappear did it. Let's say those billions rather went into hibernation as others took possession of those shares that they bought at fire sale prices. They just wait it out for those sp's to go back up again whereupon those billions will blossom again....just in different pockets

I wonder if anyone is keeping track if S&P related entities are doing any shorting these days in the clamour and confusion of dropping markets. Well, I have to say it again.....manipulation, facilitated by the irresponsibility of the money folks, irresponsibility that we've known about for some time. Isn't it intersesting that instead of the market taking one big flying leap into the basement for all that is known, that various entities keep eeking out bits of news over the months affecting some very opportune market waves. Lots of cash made here folks.
