finance institutions have gone bankrupt or appear to be on the verge of doing so. The value of many companies has been reduced by trillions of £s/ $s and so it goes on. Where is all the money? For instance the money the Icelandic banks lost, where did they put it and where is it now? |

Most of this money never physically existed in the first place, it's all just numbers on a computer screen.
What happened? : some idiot probably hit 'delete'. GRRRR :-( |

banks lend more than they actually have as they assume individuals will not spend up to their credit limits, people have been and cant pay it back so the banks cant replace what they've lost. |

Money is an interesting thing. It primarily exists because everyone agrees that it exists. We print a certain amount of currency, to represent money, but there is much more money than there is currency. So when a market decides that the value of things has fallen, the money, by mutual agreement of all parties, vanishes. Similarly, when we create something that is not intrinsically valuable, like art for example, its only by agreement that we decide its worth any money at all.
So some of the money went to the short sellers, the people that bet the price of the stocks would go down, borrowed stocks to sell, and then replaced the stocks after the price went down. That money still exists, and is wherever the short seller put that money.
But when the stock is simply sold by one person and bought by another, its by agreement that the value changed, either up or down, by exposing it to a competative market. |

Simple, if some one sells someone buys.
The assets of any business or institution are not lost.
Governments, Creditors, and Shareholders all get some.
So this bank goes out of business, another opens, or someone buys up what is left.
Yes the numbers have lots of zeros but business has yet to stop.
And if it does we go back to the beginning and barter and work our way up again. |

Keep in mind that banks and other financial institutions only keep a fraction of what people deposit on hand as cash to pay back on demand. Most of it, let's say 90%, they loan out to other people and businesses. These individuals and businesses deposit their money in a bank which, in turn, keeps only 10% of that (loaned) money on hand and loans out the other 90%. As you can imagine, this means that a lot of money is only on paper and does not in reality exist. Only a small fraction of money actually is in paper currency or coins; the rest multiplies because banks are lending and people are spending.
But in times of crisis, people do not want to lend their money to businesses (stocks), and they might even want to withdraw it from their bank. But banks only have a small amount actually on hand, so a bank could go under by failing to pay all its depositors what they demand.
It's all a house of cards, built on mere paper, and on TRUST that the system works.
If people lose thier trust, the amount of "money" (imaginary money on paper) circulating drops, and everyone has less to share. |

Money...is not what you have in your pocket. That little note is worth just how much your country decides it's worth. The banknote is just a "representation" of a little gold that is stored in the reserve of your own country.
Now, it's not like the money is vanishing. The real problem is that the money was not there in the first place. Just imagine you sell something to a customer who sais.."i'll pay you in 1 year" (pretty normal in the market). Now imagine that that customer does it with everyone, buying more that he could practically afford..he can, as long as he doesn't have to phisically pull out a single penny, and he thinks it's ok as he plans to earn more than he originally paid.
Now imagine everyone in the world doing it.
Before or aft..the bubble will burst.
it bursted today. |

It was never real money in the first place! The current economy in my opinion is over heated and over valued which was caused by those greedy little bankers. This crisis is only in the credit market. The stock market is a daily guide as to the current value of a countries stock. It's value is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it and what the banks are prepared to lend to give it that value. The greedy bankers have made their money now and are trying to cash out. What about us little guys? |

Lost when the banks lent the money to people who could not pay it bank (or banks/bussinesses) it was always going to be lost. Thats the problem with the stock market one minute money can come from no where and the next lost forever. |
