That number doesn't jibe with the data (datum?) someone else on this thread contributed, that 130% of GDP = Dow 10,000. I think its possible the 130% number might be important TA-wise.

I just wanted to clarify that I credit Michael Belkin for the term " bubble vision" not the GDP figures which are perhaps on the high side but in the stratosphere nonetheless. Mike

I used to think that Japan held the record for stock market cap as a percentage of GDP (130%) until someone corrected me on an SI thread. I forget which thread, but the record seems to go to Indonesia which crossed 300%! Japan still holds the record for big countries with any sort of meaningful accounting system. I would argue the the GDP number s issued by the government in Indonesia were probably inflated by Suharto(sp?).
