JW, Thanks for the schooling. At times I feel the same way.

I'm sure many of us do.

I've been avoiding the use of margin as much as possible.
However, it continues to beckon me.
Each time I dip into my margin reserves, I get bit in the arse.
I never learn. I get too greedy.

For my birthday last week, Datek gave me a Margin Call.
Those bastards love me.
Friggin' QCOM helped them decorate the cake and card they e-mailed to me.

Anyhow, I may cash out while I'm still ahead in my other accounts.

I'll sit back for a few days and collect my thoughts.
Maybe the Naz will deflate a little for me.
I'd like to get in on BRCD, JDSU, CREE, and SDLI.
Some others as well.
Too expensive right now...

Thanks for sharing your pain and thoughts.
There are many of us who feel similar to you but don't have the guts to post it.
