Yep, I ll never put all my eggs into one basket. Old truth,
but on the other hand, when I closely watch 10 stocks, you have lots to do. Besides that special situations require further attention, consider ol' AMZN (yes), RMBS, TBR, SEEK (sigh!) or ADBE, and the short canvas of IAI junk, we know all about.
Found out that I used beyond 70% of my purchase power (thus 40% margining over equity) in the long run, so it not that leveraged. Only on real momentum stockups.
The only time when I was really scared, was the KLB story with the 24-30 indication at preopen, when I printed near the last close day before. Equity went almost to nil at the $30 ask.
ALIVE, still goin' strong
