Margin Interest Reaches Highest Point Since March, 2000
Margin interest stood at $312 billion in January, 2007. That's the highest it has been since the market crashed in March, 2000.
So far, regulators have not issued warnings to investors and financial services firms. But they did do in 2000. The Fed Chief was worried about "irrational exuberance" and securities regulators advised financial services firms to warn customers of margin risks, as well as programs that had been rewarding advisers for soliciting margin use.
