You want numbers

A lot of stock is bought on margin, that is with borrowed money. Margin debt balances total more than $560 billion and margin calls—when brokers demand more cash after portfolio values decline—can exacerbate market selloffs.

Oh looky, you found the answer!

“Margin debt balances total more than $560 billion...”

How are your math skills? What percentage of the $30 TRILLION dollar market cap does that represent?

Here, I will help, compare these two numbers:

560,000,000,000 versus
30,000,000,000,000

Is math one of your trust fund baby skills, oh mouse-warrior? 98% of the market is NOT margined. That is based on the number you finally found in your google search.
