WestRace, do you mind sharing what investment horizon you have? Are you retired or actively (full time) employed? Apologies for the question, but I think it relates to the questions you pose. You use the word "scary". Why are you scared, or why should others be scared?
Markets cycle. Economies wax and wane. Nothing new here.
WestRace, can you please point to data that supports excessive leverage at the business (corporate) or consumer level?
Full disclosure: I am engaged in full time employment in an industrial corporation. I do not see anything to be concerned about. If the economy softens, so be it. The country, the economy and firms will adapt and adjust and move on with life. Nothing scary here.
