| Lingyis said: it's funny, when i read saw the title, i thought, "since when is 1.7 billion dollars massive?" that's when i realized, i've seen too many huge negative numbers from the financial firms :) anyway, in this age of numbers in the hundreds of billions, if not trillions, i really don't know what numbers mean anymore. |
I think it goes like this (speaking in terms of dollars/euros):
Millions - peanuts for big companies, significant to small/medium companies, nothing for countries
Billions - too much for small/medium companies, significant for big companies, not much for countries
Tens of billions - too much even for big companies, significant for countries
Hundreds of billions - Oh shit.
Trillions - The sky is falling.
It's just a rough guide but it should get you started :P
