In 1997, a lot of mutual funds were applying large credit lines, so they could meet redemptions or buy the dip. I saw that on TV.

yes, this is correct...and it's precisely the reason why we'll eventually get margined up mutual funds...of course for those not redeeming, this can easily turn into a nightmare. anyone investing in a mutual fund should make certain that such borrowing will only be incurred sparingly if at all. after all a mufu on margin acquires a completely different risk profile...
