JW or anyone,

On these two points below, is there a source that shows comparisons on these two measurements at various critical points in history? If so, can you provide a link? Thanks.

I remain,

"United Airlines isn’t the only company that is need of spare billions. A report in the latest Elliott Wave Financial Forecast quotes an ominous statistic: liabilities for the 30 Dow Stocks are $3.3 trillion. The net worth of the 30 Dow stocks is only $728 billion of which $218 billion is goodwill. Tangible net worth is only $510 billion, meaning that the Dow 30 stocks have $6.5 dollars of debt for every $1 dollar in equity."

"Since the beginning of 1998 the US under the Greenspan Fed has produced $9.1 trillion of credit market debt. And what has all that debt generated? It's generated Gross Domestic Product of about $2 trillion. In other words, it's taking about $4.5 trillion in bank credit to produce $1 trillion in GDP. Economically, we're running up the down escalator."
