Hi eslos,

when using margin you are playing in the big leagues. . folks don't get to the big leagues until they've proven very successful despite the highs, lows and day to day ups and downs over a period of years playing in an easier league . . consistent execution when using margin is a must

when using margins it's critical that you have to have a exit strategy designed specifically for the composition of the portfolio . . how many stocks . . . how volatile are they . . what types (growth, momentum, leaders, small cap, biotech, etc) . .

for example, price moves in a small portfolio of a few high beta names are much more volatile than a portfolio a larger portfolio of big cap leaders . . if you used a 5% to 10% rule from the high of a portfolio to get off margin for a portfolio comprised of a few, high beta names you'll be selling frequently . . a 5% to 10% move down following a one or few day spike up in a limited position, high beta portfolio isn't unusual . .

if the exit strategy is the right one for each of the stocks bought for the margin portfolio, well over 90% of the time the rules reduce and eliminate the margined position of the portfolio . . .

my thoughts for what they are worth . .
