Mike, today's market action destroyed any hope of further interest rate cuts, the next fed move will be up. I expect margin requirements will be raised soon to protect people from themselves. The sad thing is that many investors are buying in now and will lose their shirts.

I advise everyone holding AMZN or YHOO to NOT use margin now. If you have large profits, take some of your original investment off the table and let the profits ride. I have been trading almost 40 years and have seen many such stocks come and go. Investors have huge profits on paper but don't cash them, maybe even double up, and then lose everything in the inevitable crash. At least buy some puts for downside protection!
