Cnbc Reports Margin Debt At Historical Highs

I saw that too.

These people better pray there's no correction, and that the new rule is that markets can only rise.

Even a 5%er would put them in serious pain. A 10%er+ would crush most.

If one likes living dangerously....
 
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

Unfortunately margin levels have no use as a sentiment indicator.......


hmm, i saw that same graph last night when i was researching margin debt.

however bylo is right, if there is just a 5% pullback margin calls will be going off left and right.

$285,000,000,000 worth or margin debt.
 
chart of margin debt in nominal$ probably isn't very helpful imo. also, are hedge funds included in margin stats or in some other category? thanks.
 
Don't confuse factors that could potentially exacerbate a correction for causing a correction or hastening its start.
