thanks, that clears it right up....

$476,000,000

JUST INCREDIBLE!!!!!


This time its different though....

 

Perfect time to buy.

 

I think there are 3 more zeros still.

 

Yes, it's quoted "in millions" so the actual number expressed is $476,381,000,000.

Or to put it another way, FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX BILLION and change.

It will be fun to watch when the margin loans get called.
