Although the new margin rule, in effect tripled the amount of borrowed money which could be used to buy stocks,* it did not bring many new customers into the market. Most of the stepped-up business was done by seasoned traders who were merely using their additional credit...

To sharpen the effect, the sound track, like a child's half-focused attention, sometimes catches only half the adult talk...
