Ike and Co.- I am not a very saavy investor. In fact I usually don't even look at prices of the stocks I buy. I just find a product that I like, and buy the stock. (This explains my large holdings in Playboy). After seeing you guys pounding the table for Semis and Disk Drives, I call my broker this past Monday and tell him to load up the truck.... all semis and DD. I'm sure they are doing well. Thanks, guys. Now, I get a telegram in the mail yesterday from my broker saying something about a "margin call". Is this some new type of derivative? I don't play options much, but I'm willing to try if you fellas think this is a good idea. If it's true that these call options can be bought on margin, I may not have to sell all of my semis and DDs to get them. Let me know what you guys think. I trust you. TLC
