Dave,
You're confusing me a bit...By scanning your recent posts, this is what I understand:
YOUR TRADES:
IN at 28
OUT at 37
IN at 40, (you lost 3 pts)
out at 44
IN at 45 7/8 (lost another 1 7/8)
Now, this ASSUMES you bought equal quantities each time, which you may or may NOT have done. So, besides paying taxes and commisions a few extra times, you lost out on 4 7/8 points, which is greater than 10% of the current stock price. Doesn't make too much sense to me. If you had just held your $28 shares until now, you'd have been better off, and had more money to put toward your new house!
Lastly, you seem like a nice guy, based on your posts,(maybe you're not<g>), but be careful with the use of margin. I don't use it at all, and have seen friends lose ALL their money fooling with it.
