Would you borrow money to buy shares? Investors in the US are doing so in record amounts. It’s called “margin debt” and it’s when brokers let investors borrow money using shares they already own as collateral so they can buy even more.

According to US regulator FINRA, margin debt just hit an all-time high of $1.42 trillion, up more than 50% in a single year. On the way up margin debt is like rocket fuel, investors make more because they`re risking more. But on the way down it`s brutal, causing forced selling when brokers demand their money back.

Borrowing tends to rise in any bull market and this doesn`t mean a crash is coming, rather it shows that a lot of people are borrowing a lot of money to buy an already expensive market.

Noronex (ASX:NRX) enters an agreement to acquire the Sleitat Tin Project in Alaska, adding a high-grade critical minerals asset with historic tin, tungsten and silver mineralisation in a Tier-1 US mining jurisdiction.

⛏️ Strategic acquisition: Noronex secures an option to acquire the Sleitat Tin Project, one of only two large-scale tin projects in the US deemed by the USGS to be economic.
🇺🇸 Critical minerals exposure: The project offers exposure to US-listed critical minerals, with the US currently having no domestic tin production and relying on imports.
📈 Growth potential: Historic drilling returned high-grade tin intersections, while large parts of the mineralised system remain untested and open for further exploration.

“Securing an option to acquire 100% of the Sleitat Tin-Tungsten-Silver Project represents a transformational step for Noronex, providing exposure to an exciting and strategically important critical minerals opportunity in the United States." – Chief Executive Officer James Thompson

Is the US stock market too expensive? A 155-year-old warning signal says it is. It’s called the CAPE ratio or the Shiller PE, after its inventor Robert Shiller.

Think of it as the market`s price tag, compared to how much companies actually earn. The data goes back to 1871, and over all that time, the average reading is about 17. It’s now around 42, and it`s only been this high once before, right before the dot-com crash of 2000.

That doesn’t mean sell everything because markets can stay expensive for years. While the Shiller PE can tell us when the market is overvalued, it can`t say exactly when or if a crash will happen.
