Maybe you should go to the the range of data that you mentioned originally, then you'll answer your own question. Also see pic related, publicly traded companies as a whole are just now starting to get to the levels of leverage they were at 10 - 15 years ago, however, consumers are still below that mark, perhaps a lot more reluctant was an overstatement, they're still reluctant though. Also Energy and Natural Resource companies are dragging the figure downwards, as they are often highly leveraged and in a volatile market in regards to commodities.

>Prevalence of negative yield bonds suggest investors are so sure of the imminent collapse they're willing to lose money in the short term so as to secure their funds
The irony is, that with this many negative yield bonds, it creates more liquidity, which means it's easier for those with these bonds to actually spend their money, than it would have been otherwise. This is another reason why I think we're seeing volatility but won't see a major crash, too much liquidity, not enough leverage.
