SB, the latest figure is actually $3,6 traded for every $1 of GDP...it has gotten a lot worse than in '29. the mutual fund industry's assets have grown from 1,6% of GDP in '78 to 42% of GDP now. in short, the stock market has become by far the most important slice of the economy...a frightening thought. market capitalization at 170% of GDP is also a historic, and world record. even the Japanese bubble grew to "only" 130% of GDP before it went bust.
