Something to sleep on...

The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index is a market capitalization-weighted index that aims to capture the total value of all the actively traded stocks in the United States.  Today, that index fell 1,024 points, or 8.3%.  

Q: What does that mean?
It means that today, the stock market lost over $1 trillion dollars.  For the record, that's a 1, with 4 commas, and 12 zeros.
