Yes. I am at 50% and am now selling non-core holdings to buy more XTO. Sold my HRC half an hour ago. Prefer to keep the 20% margin margin just in case. Haven't had a margin call since last fall, and don't care to have one again.>>

I rest my case on the foxhole comments (VBG).

...hmmmmmm - evidently you did one hell of a lot of buying the last hour of the market ? (from 50% cash to max margin ? - of course, no one is doubting you (VBG). But, out of curiosity; just what lesson did you then learn about margin from last year, given your actions in the last hour of trading ? I'm confused...?

I don't quite jive your "sleeping well" comments with your prior margin lessons ? I would think that - you may sleep well tonight "if" you maxed out on margin yesterday; but the only way anyone with any sense (no offense) slept well last night "if" they max'd margined, was being medicated (VBG) - unless they are Art Schlichter and can't sleep without the "juice" - not knowing untill the next day if their "coin toss" panned out... C'Mon "Q" ?

So what are you max margined on here ? - "all" XTO ?
