Borrowing by clients of New York Stock Exchange member firms rose 5 percent to a record $278.5 billion in March, the Big Board said today. It's also never been higher as a percentage of the market, according to investment research firm TrimTabs.com. "When this happens, it signals a speculative excess and historically a market top." said Charles Biderman, president of TrimTabs.com. Margin debt now equals 1.54 percent of the market value of U.S. public companies, the highest ever under the current rules, which date to 1974, and "it's rising dramatically more than the market on a percentage basis."

Oh, gosh, I wish I'd seen that earlier - I am working on my garden and could use some fertilizer. But on second thought, driving into DC today would have been a nightmare. The Beltway was at a standstill, and this on a Saturday.
