Investor2,

Barron's Article "Marginal Risk" (excerpt):

"Still, there may yet be some regulatory changes that make it tougher to buy stocks on borrowed money. Concern about the matter was raised by the recent revelation that such borrowings, known as margin debt, have nearly doubled in the past year to $229 billion."

Interesting. As they say here in the Midwest, a few people might get taken out behind the barn at some point should Mr. Market get cranky.
