From the SMH:
Banks say more clients are using borrowed money to invest in shares, with margin lending to retail investors growing strongly as the sharemarket edges closer to 6000 points.
After the benchmark ASX 200 last week touched a fresh six-year closing high of 5915.68 points, the country’s two biggest margin lenders, CommSec and BT, have reported a significant rise in the number of margin accounts being opened each week.
