Whether you are a startup, an investor, or a management executive, you must find out about the biggest creation of value that is imminent following 46 years of research.
A
list of 222 Countries and Sovereignties was compiled in 2018
to show the globe is undervalued by $408 trillion and to project how many new publicly-listed companies (PLCs) each country's economy needs to become at par with the US
economy. It was concluded that 425,677 correctly-formatted PLCs are needed to close the gap. This also meant 425,677 Skills 31 Teams® are needed.
Furthermore, this data provides the compelling empirical case that Equity is more powerful than Debt with four laws to end global unemployment and inflation.
Katching’s Equity > Debt Law
“Equity is at least 10,000 times more powerful than debt.”
By plugging in some numbers from Professor PDK’s The Untaxing of the United States of America into the Equity equation and the Debt equation below, the Professor shows that Equity is 10,000 times more powerful than Debt.
A = B/C^2 -- for Equity
D = E*F -- for Debt
G = A/D -- 10,000-to-1
Katching’s 1st Law of the Publicly-Listed Company
“The Revenue of a publicly-listed company should never be greater than the Market Value of the company.”
Today more than 49% of global publicly-listed companies are in violation of Katching's 1st Law. These companies include Albertson Companies Inc. (ACI), The Kroger Co. (KR), and Target Corporation (TGT).
Katching’s 2nd Law of the Publicly-Listed Company
“The GDP of a country with publicly-listed companies should never be larger than the Market Value of its publicly-listed companies.”
According to the CIA Fact Book, the USA leads the global pack of Favorable Countries with a $62.18 trillion Market Value for its public companies as compared with its $30.6 trillion GDP. Of the 14 countries with trillion-dollar GDPs, only nine – Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, the USA, Canada, India, the Netherlands, Australia, France, and Japan – have PLCs whose total market value exceeds the country's GDP. The five remaining countries – Germany, China, South Korea, Spain and the United Kingdom – have PLCs whose total market value is less than the country's GDP.
Katching’s 3rd Law of the Publicly-Listed Company
“The lower the Dividend Yield of a publicly-listed company, the higher your Supported Value.”
The "Dividend Puzzle" is solved by correctly identifying that the Market Capitalization of the PLC is supported by dividing the Cash Dividends by the published Dividend Yield. A January 10, 2026 Dividend Yield Table for the Dow Jones 30 Industrial is sorted from a high 6.9% Dividend Yield for Verizon Communications to a low 0.02% Dividend Yield for NVIDIA. When the sorting order of the Table's 30 entries is reversed and a $1 Cash Dividend is divided by the Dividend Yields, we find that Verizon's high 6.9% Dividend Yield supports a $14.49 value. $1 divided by 0.069 equals the $14.49 value. This $14.49 value is much smaller than the $5,000 value supported by NVIDIA's 0.02% Dividend Yield. $1 divided by 0.0002 equals the $5,000 value. NVIDIA's higher $5,000 value is supported by NVIDIA's lower 0.02% Dividend Yield.
- Total number of global PLCs is 69,992
- Total market capitalization of the PLCs is $62.18 Trillion
- Average market capitalization of 69,992 PLCs is $888,387,244
222 Countries and Sovereignties are collectively undervalued by $408 trillion. 425,677 new Skills 31 Teams® are needed to close the gap.
