I’m not a doom and gloomer. Quite the opposite really. I’m like the morning sun — an afternoon cup of tea — the benign Capstone atop of your pyramid, gleefully looking over you and wishing you well. Now if I didn’t show you these things, well then, that would be unkind. You should know what you’re involved in before hand; this way, when the mood differs and the numbers crunch, there can be zero claims of ignorance.

World wide debt is now $255t.
Debt change from 1999 to present.
Since Lehman, government debt has increased by $30t. How much GDP do you believe that represented? Moreover, how much of earnings is predicated upon the assemblage of said liabilities?
Emerging market debt is now $71t, up from $66t last year.
Here’s how the overall debt breaks down.
- Household debt: $47.9 trillion
- Non-financial corporate: $75.7 trillion
- Government: $70 trillion
- Financial corporate: $61.7 trillion
It’s important to note, we have a great economy, the best really. Lots of wonderful companies producing great things, lots of growth. Perhaps the best economy ever.
