Dr.Id, Agreed! In my portfolio, margin is a tool. To say I use it unwisely simply because the money is borrowed not owned is hardly fair. Others might think this entirely foolish, but my margin account has varied from 10% to 100%, and averages closer to 35%. At the moment, it is 0%. I've never had a margin call. Also, I've flown airplanes a lot and never had a crash. I've also been tying my own shoes for quite a while and never stepped on a lose one. This is not to say those things haven't happened because they won't, just that they probaably won't because I am careful. Margin has given me opportunities for profit that do not involve selling something else. Rambus, earlier this year, comes to mind. My modest purchase of ANF, with margin funds, produced a nice double between mid-May and last month, which paid my moving expenses. Irrational? I think not. Chaz
