  • Regarding HEB Article – There is some confusion on abbreviation for Million. If your an engineer your look at it $50MM with each M representing 000. See below:

    “The Roman numeral M is often used to indicate one thousand, and MM is used to indicate one million. For example, an expense of $60,000 might appear as $60M. Sales of $3,000,000 might be written as $3MM. Internet advertisers are familiar with CPM which is the cost per thousand impressions.”

  • The ‘Little Couple’ home was overpriced for a number of reasons, but the listing photos did it no favors. The interior looked very cold.

  • Mr. Clean,

    I’ve also seen the representation of ‘000 by ‘m’ and ‘000,000 by ‘M’. In the Oil and Gas industry it seems to be a common differentiation, but more utilized in units other than financial.
