Often when you see a ballooning of asset values--regardless if it's securities, real estate etc.--what it really winds up being is a ballooning of debt. Allowing retail investors to trade on margin is just asking for trouble. When you involve debt in trades even slight decreases in a asset values can completely clean you out. It may take another six months, but this probably won't end well.
