I will jump in and say that it never existed. At any day's end the value of the naz is roughly the last sale of each stock on that day. It ignores whether that sale was at great or small volume and certainly does not represent the price at which the majority of shares would trade.

Eugene, where did did all the money the Naz lost go? Or did it never exist as real money?

It never existed. Where did it come from in the first place? Was 500 Billion ever plowed into CSCO? I don't think so.

The market is one big pyramid scheme.

A good hunk of it went into the pockets of brokers that convinced their clients that now is not the time to own tech stocks.

Another hunk will go into the pockets of brokers when their clients figure out that some tech stocks are very much worth owning.

it was real, but you have to sell it to make it real.

Every time someone bought a NASDAQ stock, the person or institution they bought it from was selling. So the answer is, the money went into the pockets of those sellers. What they did with it is anybody's guess.
