...have double margining from credit cards and home equity loans

In your opinion, how would this play out if sparked by an initial drop in the stock market, e.g., margin calls from brokers would happen quickly and cause continued selling. But how long would it take other credit sources to get squeezed (how long would it take for other credit problems to cascade and further pressure the market)?
