Lynn, the only thing I will agree with you on is NEVER LEVERAGE YOURSELF TO DANGEROUS LEVELS. Margin governs your actions and that is not a smart way to do business. You are often placed in a position of selling at the worst possible time. I do not mean to sound preachy, but in general I would not margin more than 30% of total equity. Of course you shouldn't be buying when you are leveraged at dangerous levels, especially going into earnings warning season (June). However, do not confuse sound investing strategy like buying on down turns with margin buying, they are two different animals.

I am not heavily margined, so I am prepared to buy like hot cakes at a fat man convention during significant down turns.
