Tabler,

Just had a conversation with my broker from GRUNTAL, who advised that margin calls are hitting hard right now. I asked him how many of his accounts are/play on margin and he responded about 50%, which I felt was on the high side. He feels that 35%-50% who play equities are on margin, industry wide.

Always hear the buy-and-hold strategy, but thats hard to do if it is true that so many are on margin.
