CRICKET, >How far would the stock have to decline in order for the margin call to be activated? 25%? It is dependent on your brokerage firm, but 25% is min requirement by SEC. I am in Charles Schwab, and it is 30%. My recommand on the margin are (1) Only use it for short term, not for a long term. (2) If you can't control your itch hand, don't use it, otherwise you will get the margin call very quick. (3) Understand the risk of using margin, and draw a bottom line (such as 35%) that you can take. Jim S.
