daffodil: Let me first say you do a prodigious amount of work on this board and should be flowered with kudos for the effort. I couldn't meet a call and they dumped about 20% of my shares to meet it. Luckily I got paid a few days after that and sent in the cavalry as it were. Was only able to buy back 1/2 of shares sold. Bought about an hour after the bell today with new funds [no special TA strategy there, just woke up late ;-)]. So am I pissed that only 90% of my initial position made it to this monster rally (cf. AMAT)? Sure, but given they were allowing a 30% liquidation number (i.e., over 2 fold leverage) would I have been jumping off buildings if all out? Well, second floor at least. RO
