Consumers are not just borrowing for homes...

Even more dangerous is the quadrupling of margin debt--borrowing to fund stock purchases.

In only five years, that has tripled, to $179 billion. If the market plunges, much of that debt will immediately have to be paid back. The result: an immediate hit to the economy.


In my very limited view this is what could drive the market down the hardest...
