Also, GDP counts all sales, so goods that pass through many levels of production will be counted many times in the GDP figures.

I think that a more valuable figure to examine is (GDP)/(Total assets), where total assets includes the value of tangible assets, debt securities, equity, etc. This is essentially the Return on Assets for the entire economy. It should not be surprising that this figure is cyclical, and is a leading indicator. What surprises me is that I have never seen an economic work that looks at this statistic. I'll try to post a chart later this evening.
