Let me ask you. Would you margin stocks like QCOM and JDSU that increase by approximately 10 - 20 X a year at 8.5%. Would you margin 30 year bonds yielding 6% at 8.5%. Since new money is created by borrowing, you can see how a stock boom creates money and bond purchases usually merely shuffle it around. If people move money from margined growth stocks to 30 year bonds, the money supply (usually) contracts as margin is paid back..
