<<Don't forget about leverage. You got margin calls in play here. Stock is down roughly 30%. That's definitely going to have an effect on a margined position.>>

So what does that mean? That other people are going to be forced to sell?

To what extent would that affect ORCL itself? It seems like if I had 3 stocks in my portfolio, one tanked, and it resulted in a margin call, then I would sell the OTHER stocks, which presumably are down less than the tanked stock. So isn't it true that margin positions will have only a slight effect on ORCL?
