As of Sept. 9, 57 companies had defaulted on
$45.3 billion of debt for the year (2008),according to S&P RatingsDirect, up from 22companies defaulting in all of 2007. Of the 57,45 are outside the financial industry.
(While not a bankruptcy, a default sets off
clear alarm bells about a company's fiscalhealth.)
.... Roughly 70% of nonfinancial companiescarry a noninvestment or junk credit rating.S&P projects that the threeyear cumulative
default rate between 2008 and 2010 amongnonfinancial firms with poor credit will rise to23.2%, the worst on record since 1981.

``Things are getting worse, they are not gettingbetter...
There's an increased risk of a multiyeareconomic stagnation in the U.S....
We have a whole set of emerging marketeconomies in trouble. Even a few of them goingbust may cause systemic trouble...
During the Great Depression, output in the U.S.fell by more than 20 percent, I don't believethat's going to be the case.''
