"....Increasing the margin rate when the overall level of margin debt becomes excessive is a prime disciplining measure in preventing over-speculation using someone else's money...."

I don't understand what you are saying....are you saying there is a level when margin debt is excessive?...if so, what level is that?....does it change in a bull or a bear market?....i.e. does it matter whether that debt is financing long or short positions?....are you saying that you think free-markets don't work?....i.e. if you make a bad investment decision (maybe by using margin), you should be protected from losing your money?....are you saying that there should be no margin usage at all?....if so, do you honestly think that will stop people from borrowing against their assets in other, unregulated, venues to accomplish what they want to do?
