People are borrowing money to hedge the stock market like they did back in 2001.Maybe you were thinking of 2000 with the dot.com bust because back in 2001 the amount of stocks 'hedged' on margin was at a low point --only just over a percent of all stocks owned. Now it's up closer to two percent:
Of course with the low interest rates that percent's been way over 2% a lot but of late it's been fading back down to the average level we seen for the past decade.
