The world markets was slaughtered in 2008. It's no news to anyone but the number is still quite something to observe.

Overall, the world markets tracked by S&P saw the overall market cap declined by $15.5 trillions from $34.9 trillions in Jan 2008 to $19.4 trillions in Jan 2009. The decline is enough to pay for all the US public debt and sent every US citizen a $16,000 check.
