I wish I had IPO data going back as far as the 1930’s. Certainly would be interesting to compare us to then… although I think for data going back so much we would definitely need to make some sort of accommodation - maybe a ratio of # operating only companies trading already divided by the # IPOs in a year.

Not sure why people always compare this to the 70s or later… this is going to be worst then great depression, our debt to GDP is 3 times worst then WWII, so we’ll be lucky if we ONLY fall as hard as 1930s…
