CrookedI,..Re:..Would you, by any chance, know what amount of US equities are owned via margin debt?

What Stockhawk posted on the JDSU thread I believe is correct but he didn't reference a source so I can't verify. However, if you search around the Fed sites, NY Fed or National Fed, they might have some info on it. <g>

Margin in the US currently represents about 1.6% of total US market cap. That is on the high side for the past decade, and is close to the high reached before the 1987 crash.

Cheers,
