Where does all the money go?

By Todd Schafer

So, I ask the question.

with the recent stock market slide, it has written that approximately 2 trillion dollars have been shaved off people's retirement accounts.

And that was two days ago! Today's slide of almost 700 points only adds to that misery.

Where did all that money go?

Does it vanish into thin air? I guess it points to the whole nebulousness of the concept of money. If we can just print more, isn't there enough for everybody?

I have been pondering on this question, and the best I can come up with is that these are truely "paper monies". In other words, the money doesn't even exist until you sell your asset. Otherwise, the value is just some figure that the market at the time decides.
