If I recall correctly the bond market is about six times the size of the stock market... but it all gets fuzzy because so much stuff is traded off-book these days anyway. I can't find any statistics newer than 2016, at which point dark pools were 40% of stock trades. Most of the bonds traded most people have no access to and loans are large piles of money helping out other large piles of money. One thing about loans - there's less speculation there. Bonds and equities? Oh shit hold onto your butts.
