Hi Freeus,..Re But you have to realize I'm very long on Dell and did not expect it to ever get down to levels where my margin would be in danger

Freeus, I'm not questioning any action on your part. Only trying to understand the use of margin. In trading futures (options), the main and inviolate rule is get out when the market moves against your position (guard capital at all costs) and set a trade goal/profit objective and stick to it. THat's why I was wondering if I decided to open a margin account wouldn't one operate that account with the same rules as futures trading? The questions arose because the topic of margins has increased significantly in proportion to the sell-off.

Regards,

Lee
