I was gonna post this in the open b4 I got distracted. Motley Fool has a list of 50 amazing facts about the US economy. It's worth having a look. Here's just 3.

1. Just five companies, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) , Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) , Cisco, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) , and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE ) , now hold nearly one-quarter of all corporate cash, equal to more than a quarter-trillion dollars.

2. The period from March 2009 to March 2012 was one of the strongest three-year market rallies in history -- stronger, in fact, than the 1996-1999 bull market.

3. The combined assets of Wal-Mart's Walton family is equal to that of the bottom 150 million Americans.
