Both regression and Granger causality tests are used to examine whether stock market movements lead margin debt changes, or vice versa. The study also examines whether the level of interest rate on margin debt affects margin loan borrowing. The study tries to find whether margin loan borrowers' behavior is affected by expected macro economic growth. Margin debt balances at both the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ stock market increase as major stock indexes rise and decrease as the indexes decline. This indicates that margin debt borrowers follow stock market trends, i.e., they borrow margin debt and buy more stocks after they see stock prices rise, and sell stocks to repay their margin loans after they observe stock prices fall. However, margin debt borrowers' trading activities...

We estimate expected short interest for Nasdaq stocks. Extending prior work, our research is among the first to investigate the impact of ownership structure on short-selling activity. We find that short interest is negatively related to institutional ownership and positively related to inside ownership; stocks with greater liquidity and smaller relative spreads are more heavily shorted. We also develop a measure of the unanticipated level of short selling; relative to the reported amount of short interest, this unexpected level of short selling seems at first to better represent the opinions of informed investors engaging in costly short-selling activities. However, the power of the unanticipated level of short-selling factor is displaced when we make allowances for traditional market,...

A rush of good news suggesting that economic growth is picking up speed sent the stock market soaring Tuesday. The Dow Jones industrial average surged 337 points as investors shrugged off worries about the European debt crisis and the political stalemate in Washington and focused on news that U.S. consumers are flocking back to the malls for last-minute Christmas shopping and that even the long-dead housing market is showing some signs of life.

State officials and economic analysts said Wednesday that neither of the two possible scenarios on Washington's negotiations on raising the debt ceiling is good for New Jersey. The tense and bitter discussions are virtually certain to result in a U.S. government default or a compromise that slashes at least $1 trillion in federal spending. Both would have dire consequences for New Jersey at a time when it is trying to cope with Governor Christie's steep budget cuts, a 9.5 percent unemployment rate and a sluggish recovery from the deep recession.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - A U.S. clampdown on short selling is unlikely to reverse a decade-long trend in Asia of easing restrictions on the sometimes-controversial practice, which market players say has boosted trading volumes and the growth of local hedge funds. The U.S. move this month came almost exactly a decade after Asia suffered its own financial crisis, spurring authorities in markets like Hong Kong and Malaysia to crack down on short sellers to ease pressure on local financial markets. In some cases, they imposed tough rules that are still in force.

Re Eugene Robinson's "Rich richer at middle class cost": All the pundits on the left are selling the Keynesian/Paul Krugman/ President Obama fiscal policy of a "millionaire tax." The "Warren Buffett policy" will solve our financial and unemployment problems. OK, let's say that the proposed tax raises $150 billion a year; do you think that this surtax will pay down the debt? Offset shortages in the Social Security fund? How about Medicare? No, it will be spent on new or continuing programs and Congress won't have to make as many tough decisions as to which programs get cut in the 2012 budget. Does anyone really believe that it will change current unemployment levels? Consider that the past stimulus packages (printing money) haven't helped unemployment at all and we now borrow 40 out ever...
