It's fear. If the US can panic, they know they can be in big trouble. This is a stock market panic. Everyone's emotional. As long as this doesn't result in a wider credit collapse than margin debt, we'll be ok. Direct margin debt isn't that significant to the markets.

Glenn: If ten people own houses and one sells at one million dollars, the other houses (if they are all the same) are all worth 1 million also -- and all ten are worth 10 million. The next year one house is sold for $500,000 -- and now all ten houses are priced the same -- or $5 million altogether. Now where did the five million dollars go? It is certainly not in anyones pocket. And if everybody took home equity loans when their houses were "worth" a million a piece -- then they are deep in debt and maybe in trouble.
