heinz, Two very interesting links... Thank you. KJC PS - Do you (or anyone else for that matter) have any statistics that reveal the depth and breadth of margin debt (in general) and specifically within vulnerable sector stocks (for example, tech stocks)? What I'm looking for is just how deep the calls may go if the market reverses itself. Many, many stocks are already at or near 52-week lows, so a best guess might be that there's not much to the downside there; so little to no effect on margin calls. However, high flying sectors/industries appear to be quite vulnerable at the moment. Thanks.
