LEVERAGE: The use of credit or loans to enhance speculation in the financial markets. Suppose, for example, that you take the $1,000 in your bank account to your stock broker and purchase $1,000 worth of stocks, bonds, or whatever. A leveraged purchase would let you use your $1,000 to buy, let's say, $10,000 worth of stocks or bonds. The remaining $9,000 of the purchase price comes from a loan.

M2 is a broader measure of money that includes M1 plus what we can call near money.- We have over four trillion dollars of M2 in total.
- Total M2 averaged over 270 million people is about $15,000 per person.
Near monies: - These are temporary savings, a pool of funds that can be accessed quickly and easily.
- These funds are very liquid, but not perfectly liquid as M1.
- Some people, specially economists, argue that M2 is the best indicator of our total supply of 'money.'
