Nice list. The problem is, as market caps continue to decline, the ratios will get even worse, so it's hard to come up with a 'safe' debt-to-cap, I think.

seems to be a real dearth of 4 letter stocks on that list.

bobcor, Wow! That's some list there. The very top of the list reads like a Who's Who in bankruptcy courts... <g> KJC

BC, nice study. I'm not sure what you meant by converting tabs to spaces (I assume your data was tab-delimited to begin with), but the problem seems to be with SI: it will only accept a certain number of chars per column before things go wonky. Thus I had to delete the company names in the cleaned up version below. Even then, it would only 'accept' 5 digits and a decimal point in the third column, even though it accepted 8 plus dp in the second -- go figure. I've added a fourth column, yesterday's closing prices as per yahoo (a price of zero most likely indicates the stock's gone to the pink sheets). (If anyone wants to put this data into a table or spreadsheet, copy it into Word, use "Replace All' to replace two spaces with a single space ... do this several times, until you're down to single spaces only. At this point you can either replace the spaces with commas and export to a spreadsheet, or use Word's "Text to Table" command, choosing a space as the deliminator).
