Yep. And in the last week, the rich have lost more money than anybody else.

It’s all a function of two things: 1. what percentage of your wealth is where, (ie home, stock market, checking account) and 2. Even if you and a rich man are both 80% in the stock market, he’ll come out in absolute terms having made more money.

Is that fair? I think so. Both made the same percentage. And if it drops, he’ll lose more absolute money, too.
