As a relatively new person to the site and to the stock market I thought it would be interesting to know what amount of money people have to invest in the stock market.
I thought by doing it by a poll, it would allow people to be anonymous and honest.

In super some $900k is in the share market (with AGEST not SMSF). Outside super over 400k at 20% gearing. Ready cash at bank at a level to be comfortable and meet on-going debts.

I am 1/3 shares, 2/3 property. And 1/3 debt overall. ie. using the low interest property mortgage to invest in shares. If I sold all the shares I'd have nothing but property.

no, just margin loan for shares...
i plan to reduce this in the not too distant future...

interestingly, i almost had zero margin lend going back a month (as my portfolio was in speccies / cash)... but the crash in March made some of the margin loan suitable stocks look better value so i now have a margin loan once again!
