Nas,
<<It's called Margin! >>

There is a very good reason not to allow margin in IRAs. I frankly would discourage margin for the average investor. Leave that to the hedge funds IMO. (I am an average investor by every definition which is one reason I am 50% cash and 30% mutuals at this time).

As to AOL, CSCO, DELL, I wouldn't argue the point as it would be moot but would note that you are very wise to measure any investment you make on an alternative and ROI basis. First rule of thumb IMO.
Best,
Stitch
