Where Are The Smelling Salts? Total Credit Market Debt Owed in USA is 350% of GDP
Confounded Interest ^ | 11/07/2012 | Anthony B. Sanders

And why the day is young, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell -340 points as of 11L31am. This partly explains the flow to Treasuries today. UPDAATE at 2:06pm: DJIA down around -250.

Most of the stock exchanges around the world are down 2% or more as well.

And gold and silver are down today as well.

Is there anything else that could be rocking the boats of investors? As of today, there is about $55 trillion of total credit outstanding – are we getting near the end of the debt funding infatuation?

If I take the total credit market debt outstanding as a percentage of GDP, we see TCMDO is over 350% of GDP.

This is quite disconcerting.

And interest on the debt is at all time lows. Just imagine the havoc that will happen when the prime rate hits 10-15%+.

Credit market debt will do to the economy what buying on the margin did to the 1929 stock market.

Can you say D I S A S T E R?

Saving cash won’t yield much interest at all now, but it’s still smart to save a little cash. And save plenty of everyday necessities for sure.
