The Saudi stock market... Seems almost as absurd as the North Korean stock market.

Dakkak estimates that as many as two million Saudi investors and their eight million family members have been hit hard by the bourse slide.


Hit very hard by Saudi standards. Some will have to sell one out of their 20 luxury automobiles.
