XKCD 980: Money

http://www.xkcd.com/980/
A graphical, scaled image of common financial amounts, both abstract and
concrete.
There's a number of interesting observations and tidbits scattered
throughout the chart, the only one I'll note here is this: the EPA values a
human life at $8.4 million.
The line below in quotation marks come from the chart.
"Money: A chart of (almost) all of it, where it is, and what it can do.
This chart is entirely in 2011 dollars. Every value associated with a year
before 2011 was adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Price Index.
Nearly every amount has a cited source - when possible, a scholarly work or
government publication. A list of sources is available at
http://xkcd.com/980/sources/."
Tooltip: "There, I showed you it."

Basics of financial know how, for beginners
Stock: A piece of the company. It makes money by appreciating or paying
