How many US corporations are junk rated?

While 2/3 of all US corporations carried an investment grade
rating in the 80's the situation has reversed and 2/3 of US
corporations are junk rated. This, as far as I know, represents
a historical record.

Thereby not many companies are in a position to take advantage
of the opportunities which may arise as a result of this crisis
simply because they do not have their house in financial order
and lack capital resource.

It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another.
