Sarmad -- I think it was beginning to pick up speed in the blowoff top we had leading up to 199. Was it the main thing going on? I have no idea. -- but some pretty green buyers were cashing in their savings -- yes, I believe that. The most dangerous ones I saw had made some easy bucks and thought they were really, really smart, so they rewarded themselves with something others might want -- a vette for example -- and showed it off. But what made me cringe was to hear the same people say they borrowed to buy their new toys because they wanted to keep 'their investment money working'. And yes they were talking margin.
