Are you suggesting that there are people who borrow money from banks to invest in the mutual funds? If true, I do not know what to say.

Franco, When I was back in malaysia in '94, it was similar. The yuppies/professional white collar folks were borrowing from the banks or their employers to invest in the stock market and bids for IPOs. Money was so cheap; the govt was encouraging people to buy expensive cars (Honda Accord was selling at R$200,000 or something like that (US100K then??)), people were filling up their houses with gadgets. Consumables must be name brands or designer labels. All appeared to be on credit. Seemed there was no end in mindless spending.
