What is the Debt/Equity ratio all about?

"Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one." Benjamin Franklin

Remember that Debt and Equity are part of the financial post and therefore this must be a ratio about how much wealth you have accumulated.
The Debt to Equity ratio measures how much of your capital that YOU own and how much the FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS own! You may have a great house but only own a fraction of it!

"The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where the stand in times of challenge and controversy."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
