People usually lose all sense for size in financial news discussions.
So many different numbers on different scales are thrown around.
The entire Russian stock market is apparently worth about $330bn now. Down
70%.
Google is worth that.
Apple is worth double.
The Russian economy will lose 6% of GDP due to a $60 fall in oil prices.
Which means oil at $120 was about 12% of the national economy. Probably
most of the net income over cost also.
The US GDP is about $10T.
Health care is $3T of that.
China is about $3T.
