	"only a few hours" for Facebook is literally billions.

Only $13.3 million per hour in revenue [1], but about $45 billion in market cap today [2].

You mean $945B?

At close, market cap was approximately 920B and the stock was down about 5%. The change in market cap is therefore about 920B * (1 / 0.95 - 1) ~ 48B

But 6 hours for Facebook is proportionally the same as 6 hours to anyone. If 6 hours is a billion to them, they still made 3 billion
