While clients were not returning to margin borrowing at the level they were before the crash, “things are better than a month back,” said Murtuza Rasiwala, Americas head of banking, custody, escrow and margin and securities-backed financing at Citigroup Inc . In another sign of appetite for risk, single-stock lending—often deemed a more high-risk business—appears to remain attractive. Philipp Wehle, the head of Credit Suisse’s international wealth management division, said such lending was still on offer, with the unit recently undertaking a major single-stock transaction with a long-standing emerging market client.

“A lot of folks didn’t realize how much risk they had all these years during this bull run,” said Matt Wolper, at Wolper Law Firm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Economies and stock and gold markets are heavily manipulated and controlled by the wealthy few to rip off Americans and take their hard earned Dollars. Just check who got rich off of coronavirus. I wouldn't be surprised if the pandemic was just an engineered money making scam!

When the DOW tanked to 18K, didn't the big money managers like goldmansachs and morganstanley know it was unjustified and that it will come back up? They surely did and they played us. The market crash was staged to rip off average hard working Americans!!
