Market Value vs. Total Debt
I wondered after posting about the debt of Gen. Motors, how the debt looked of the other Dow Jones Industrials. If the amount of debt in relationship to market value is a signal of survivability, then besides Gen. Motors there are a few others whose debt is out of line. I have indicated those companies in red.

$410 Billion in Debt
The other day I built a table that showed the market value and total debt of the 30 Dow Industrials. Two of those companies, General Motors and Ford have a combined total debt of $472 Billion. We have gotten so used to these big numbers that I was astounded to read this afternoon that the $472 Billion is equal greater to the total debt of Canada. As Sen. Dirksen said long ago, "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you are talking real money."
