Looks to me like we can go higher on margin debt in the near term, at least 0.6 higher. BTW I am very fond of margin - its a good thing.

You can’t buy options without margin. My guess is that short selling and puts are pretty high which is a bullish sign.

Now if on the other hand this money is mostly long (betting stocks go up) then it would be very worrisome. Kind of like 1999 and earlly 2000.

"Brokers will lend up to 50% of the market value of a security

B.S.! Check out "Portfolio Margining" ... avg. Hedge Fund is leveraged 9x ... some, 40x. Crazy!

Reg. T only applies to the dupes w/Retail Brokerage Accounts. sshhhhhhh, don't let the sheeple know.
