i don't know. CNBC Europe cut him off in mid-obfuscation. but it sounds plausible, as margin debt is about 2,6% of GDP (needless to say, a record) and the markets total capitalization is already much higher than GDP, 180% or thereabouts (also a record).

Yep but the market is now over twice the GDP and this will sum up to 3% of GDP a more dangerous number. Now all this does not count credit card debt, which I assume is around 2% of GDP, as people draw from the credit cards instead of selling stocks. This is a hidden type of margin.
