OK, Dep, go for the happy dance, but try to moderate it :-) Two ways you can lose money in a stock: (1) to get too fearful and sell too quickly, and (2) to have "total faith" in any company, even AOL, and get blind to changes in fundamentals.

Margin is a great way to leverage on the way up, but it can really hurt on the way down. I don't like to give advice, but in my own margin account, I try to keep it above 66%. I think this week it got to around that level.
