Planet Money's The Indicator brings two stories about how investing is getting riskier. One looks at the rise of sports gambling as a form of investing among Gen Z, where more than half are using investment money for sports bets, often losing money, similar to the day trading craze of an earlier generation. The other examines the surge in margin borrowing, now at an all-time high of over $1.5 trillion, and how high levels of margin debt have historically preceded market crashes. The episode also touches on what the Federal Reserve might do to address these growing risks.
