I'm not interested in discussing the long side of it. What part of that is not clear? (and I don't need a reason or explanation) My not commenting on it, has nothing to do with reasoning or lack of reasoning, consistency or lack of consistency. Whether it bothers me or doesn't bother me, isn't the issue, here. If you want to discuss margin for longs, and how it creates demand or money, start a thread, maybe you can have a neat discussion about it, maybe not. I don't really care one way or another. FWIW, I probably won't participate, but you never know. As far as it actually driving up stocks prices, that is a possible result. It may or may not happen. But the use of margin to buy shares IS creating demand where there would not be (that portion of it) without that margin. Money is created by the use of margin, I don't recall posting otherwise. It can be used to buy groceries if that's how you want to use it.
