margin debit

Below is a synopsis of this investment report:

• Record margin debt seems to make the headlines every few months, and fear mongers are quick to point out that this is a predictive indicator of a future equity market crash.
• Margin debt can exacerbate a sell off, but there is absolutely no statistical evidence that margin debt levels can predict an equity market decline.
• Although the use of margin debt is never recommended in a conservative portfolio, investors are urged to ignore the rampant fear in such a meaningless data point.
