Arpad... Depends on your broker. For example, I can margin up to 50% with my broker, so for every $100 dollars I have I can buy $200 worth of stock - I borrow $100 and go in margin. However, when I break the 50% limit (when the stock is now worth less than $200), they will give me a margin call (usually an email or phone call). Mine will ask for either more money or for you to sell the equity (or cover). Mine gives me a day to wire the money in. However, if I break the 25% equity mark (the stock keeps dropping), then they will sell or cover the stock for me automatically. It's their rules and I signed up for it. Your best bet is to call DLJ Monday before 9:30 and ask for instructions. They should have people in the offices by 8:00. Plan accordingly. Most likely, this stock will tank and you will be okay if you can survive the margin call, but don't take mine or anyone else's word for it. USMA95
