Every month margin use keeps going up. I have seen a lot of commentary (bears) saying the market is over priced and the economy is weaker than the markets indicate.
If there is a trigger, will margin create a compounding drop in market prices? Or will more people come in with more margin as the price looks like a good deal.
Or as an inexperienced investor(I just hear/see buzzwords), is the biggest issue the devaluation on the dollar and I should buy something even overpriced instead of holding money in a savings account?
