thanks for advice. I held on, hoping (serendipitously) for slight rebound tomorrow, when I'll be forced to sell some. Actually, can't buy back all of it, only 70% , less what went to cover margin. It's the way margin works at TD/Waterhouse. Might be better to spend money that accrues in margin on a cheaper stock, maybe CS until I've got enough to buy back. (I figure cs is good for 2 point gain. right now at 12--13) Still an AOL long. (Sure is stomach churning, but I'm still drinking coffee --and I've been through this before obviously, with AOL)
