"Summary": "Here we see how much leverage retail investors are using to invest in public markets. Margin balances surged after 2020, corrected somewhat, and are now moving higher again. Is this a sign of frothy markets similar to past cycles and a warning of an impending decline? Perhaps, but I’m not convinced. We are experiencing an explosion of new investment platforms, tools, and opportunities that make it easier than ever for retail investors to participate. At the same time, we may be in the early stages of an economic supercycle driven by emerging technologies—AI, automation, robotics, energy, and other innovations—that increasingly reinforce and accelerate one another. There will certainly be drawdowns and corrections along the way, but I currently lean toward a multi-decade expansionary period rather than a prolonged era of sideways markets or secular bear market conditions."
