>>>>>ratio of margin debt is attributed to long positions vs. short positions???>>>>

jxm, does it really matter?, the use of margin is a sign of speculative excess, whether it be short or long, but if you look at the trend of margin debt with the trend of sNp, i think u have to conclude that most of that margin debt is long, over the last decade people who have been margined short have been destroyed (until this year -g-)
