“Credit lending continues to grow, but that's not a bullish sign by any means,” Peterffy said. “This usually heralds a slowdown in the market, and that's probably what's going to happen.”
As an example, the investor pointed to the market crash two years ago, when credit loans rose again to all-time highs just before the crash.
However, Peterffy said he expects the market to rise in the long term as inflation and interest rates remain high.
