Hi Michael,

Here's the Federal Reserve Link for the data....

federalreserve.gov

I use the second batch of Bank Assets and Liabilities, which are not
seasonally adjusted. The specific data is found in the "Security" line
item. "Consists of reverse RPs with brokers and dealers and loans to
purchase and carry securities."

federalreserve.gov

You are right about the "margin debt" including margined short positions in
addition to long positions. The knife cuts both ways.

Regards,
Richard
