Stock margins always have gone up in bull markets because, well, it's legal to use margin, and people and organizations use it. I have never thought of it saw anything other than a concurrent, totally logical occurrence. Agonizing about rising margin debt seemed silly to me.

However, bear markets are generally shorter than bull markets because margins do get called in, and that's always been true. People sell quicker when they are margined than when they are not.

If margin debt started falling significantly while market prices continued rising, it would be a big worry. But that hasn't happened in the last three or four bull markets, including the study mentioned earlier.
