Enron stock for instance.

It was an asset, it is now worthless.

So it's not an asset and it's not on the ledger.  Only possessions that do have value are listed as assets.  We have $50trillion more in assets than we have in debt.  That's good.

Wrong, again. It's getting to be a habit.

Last traded at 10 cents.
