Re Margin Debt - You guys forgot about all the people getting 125% mortgages (over the Web of course) and dumping the money into NDB so they can stay up all night shouting "Yes! Yes! Yes!", followed by a whispered "Cramer you bad bad boy", then put in market orders to save an extra five bucks when buying their sure thing "ten baggers".

<<Debt Growth>>

"But it does seem to say risk is less of a factor after such a long bull run."

As they used to say in the NFL, (and probably will say again in the near future), "...on further review...". The actual numbers surprised me, margin debt growth up 31.1% over the past 15 months, and DJIA up 36.7% over the same period. That risk factor does indeed, seem to be under control. Thanks.
