Jeff, I have stated many times on this site. I DON'T USE MARGIN. I am an investor, not a gambler. My policy is and always has been to buy them low and hold them. I am not a trader. I added slowly to my position until I was fully invested, and heavily overloaded in CCUR, as you and Steve have said many times. After all the criticism I have received for being so heavy in CCUR, with such a large position, now I'm criticized for not adding to that with margin? Give me a break Jeff. Ken
