Re: NYSE November margin figures of $219B,

I imagine most of that is long side (some short)

I think it would have to be 100% long side, since one doesn't borrow money to sell short (stock is borrowed, and it is done in a margin account of course, but there is no borrowing of money, no debit balance -- in fact, shorting produces a cash credit balance)
